About

Portrait of Yakira Levi

Two decades of building brands, communities, and creative careers — now enhanced with AI.

I'm an Arts and Entertainment Director, Multimedia Marketing Manager, and Creative Industries AI Consultant based in Oak Park, IL. My work spans artist development, multimedia production, marketing, and nonprofit leadership — from production support at Lollapalooza to spearheading the first-ever Sprite Mixtape Campaign featuring Grammy-winner Common.

Today I focus on bridging proven creative-industry workflows with cutting-edge AI — agentic frameworks, prompt engineering, and AI governance — to help creators and organizations work smarter without losing their voice.
