Being a prolific creator, she’s put her stamp on many different projects across a variety of fields, from children’s games to investment banking to the UK’s largest digital weather service. These days, she keeps busy analysing means of communication and connectivity in professional environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding the client<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is a guiding principle for Yael to put the customer’s needs and wants first. A deep understanding for the client facilitates the design process. Prioritising simplicity is of nearly equal importance, as is being “intentional about every aspect of the design<\/em>” to ensure the highest possible quality of the final product. <\/p>\n\n\n In order to get to the root of a problem, Yael needs designers to be curious, adaptable, critical, calculative and, most of all, capable of working well with others. “Digital product design is a team sport, and you have to be able to work with a variety of people with radically different skill sets from yours<\/em>.” Yael’s relationship with music isn’t a situational one. She listens to music pretty much constantly, and one of the first things she does in the morning is to pick a playlist for the day. “I love feeling like I have a soundtrack to my life that I’m in control of<\/em>,” Yael explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Music helps her stay focused and go into work mode. What kind of sound she chooses can very much depend on the parametres of a given project. Before presenting her work, for instance, Yael tends to play upbeat music. Without music, she finds it a lot harder to concentrate and get into the right creative rhythm, saying “That’s why it’s incredibly important to me to set up my space with music and acoustics in mind<\/em>.” Head over to Spotify for Yael’s Inspire playlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Yael](\"https:\/\/www.braun-audio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/yael-levey-puppy-zola.jpeg\")
