7 extraordinary Israeli-designed music videos”

I love music; it has always been my outlet. Hearing that some of my favorite artists such as Coldplay, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have used Israeli visual art directors in their videos make them all the more enjoyable!

What’s your favorite part about being a digital ambassador?
I love our weekly calls! Whether it’s with the larger group to discuss how we shared each of our individual calls or within our smaller groups talking about our group projects, I love coming together and growing as ambassadors each week. Supporting Israel is my passion and I will never stop loving my home.

What else are you passionate about?

I love traveling. I love discovering new corners of the world and I got to do just that as I spent five months in Italy almost two years ago. One of my favorite things to do while traveling was catching the sunset every night on my walk home or in a new city I was visiting.
