Zadi Diaz is a creative executive, documentary storyteller, and naturalist currently dedicated to rebalancing life in the digital age. With over two decades of experience in digital media, and a deep-rooted passion for the intersection of technology, culture, and the natural world, Zadi’s work reflects her journey from the fast-paced digital media industry to a more grounded, nature-inspired way of living.

Zadi began her journey in New York City, where she helped pioneer digital storytelling through her editing work on Welcome to the Scene, one of the first web series about Internet piracy, and as a correspondent for the groundbreaking Internet news show Rocketboom. She later created Epic Fu, a multiple Webby award-winning series that highlighted digital innovators and Internet culture, solidifying her role as a leader in new media. 

Throughout her professional career, Zadi has led teams as a creative executive and producer at media powerhouses like Disney and DreamWorks, where she co-created YouTube Nation, a daily show in collaboration with Google. Her work has spanned partnerships with global brands like Netflix, Target, and PBS, consistently pushing the boundaries of storytelling in the digital age.

More recently, inspired by her move to the Santa Monica Mountains and a growing bond with local ecosystems, Zadi’s current interest is centered on digital wellness, regenerative ecological practices, and helping others create a mindful balance between their digital lives and the natural world while continuing her work in digital media.

Offline, you can find Zadi writing, making films with friends, sipping tea, photographing nature, meditating, cuddling with her rescue dog and cat, learning about native plants with her husband, or running with wolves and howling at the moon.
