Hello! (مرحبا)
I'm Aceel Kibbi, an award nominated podcast producer & creative executive based in LA.
I tend to follow my curiosity wherever it may lead.
I helped launch the first English digital magazine in the Middle East.
I moved to Salzburg to work with an Austrian non-profit (and to live where the Sound of Music was filmed).
I reported breaking news stories in scrappy Boston newsrooms.
I worked on daily and weekly NPR radio programs.
I produced narrative podcasts and reported stories across the US and Canada.
I developed and led audio and video podcasts for A-list talent from soup to nuts.
I joined an Estonian creative-tech startup as their head of content (but don’t test my Estonian… yet).
I’m a nimble and versatile storyteller. I’ve worn so many hats throughout my career — my toolkit is now stacked with knowledge and resources I’ve picked up from all the industries I’ve worked in.
I’m drawn to stories that turn us inward to ourselves and connect us to our communities and the world beyond. Stories that challenge the way we think, teach us something new, and bring diverse lived experiences to life.
Being a life-long learner has made me who I am today, and I’m constantly seeking ways to challenge myself.
