Yael Ort-Dinoor is a learner and educator.

She creates work centered around the embodiment of ritual practices and their relationship to place, time, and community.


Yael is interested in the translation of metaphorical and physical surroundings, across mediums. Her work explores existing or fictional narratives of people, objects, and sites within non-linear storytelling, gestures, and transient spaces.

As a former design faculty member at Boston University's School of Visual Arts (2007–2023), she taught interdisciplinary courses in Performative Text and Design, Visual Systems, and Design Theory alongside graduate and undergraduate design studios.

Yael holds a BLArch in Landscape Architecture and an MFA in Graphic Design. Beyond the studio, she is a dedicated yoga and movement practitioner and works as a field crew on a local community farm.
