Hi, I’m Esha Urbal—a creative and collaborative content producer with a flair for storytelling across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. I excel under pressure, manage fast turnarounds, and communicate clearly with stakeholders to deliver engaging media that resonates with audiences. I’ve led social video editing at Channel 4 and produced digital content for BBC Asia Network, bringing ideas from concept to publication with a strong eye for detail and a user-first approach. Beyond the hands-on production work, I’m comfortable coordinating teams, briefing talent, and adapting quickly to new formats and platforms. I’m proficient in Adobe CC (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator) and Microsoft Office, and I enjoy turning complex briefs into actionable plans and compelling visuals.
