About

I’m Donya D. Arabian, a New York–based independent producer and media creator with experience supporting productions, coordinating schedules, and capturing theatre and event coverage with clear, calm communication. I enjoy working at the intersection of logistics and storytelling—running run-of-show details, managing guest and talent flow, and producing video content under live-event timelines.

Across roles in theatre-adjacent media, legal support, hospitality, and member experience, I’ve developed a talent for confidential, detail-driven coordination and quick adaptation to shifting priorities. From filming and editing with Adobe Premiere to managing waitlists and check-ins on fast-paced floors, I bring organization, professionalism, and a friendly presence to every environment I support.
