Vania Heymann was born in 1986 in Jerusalem

Heymann was born on March 27, 1986, in Jerusalem and grew up there. His parents were Jewish immigrants from France, and he was raised in a religious home. He attended Hartman High School in Jerusalem.

After a year of national service with the religious scouts in Tiberias, he served in the Nahal Brigade. During his army service he became secular.

In 2010 he began studying visual communication at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. A class video that replaced religious symbols with an IKEA watering can spread widely online. In his second year he made three more videos that also spread online, including "Shelf Life," which animated figures on food packages.

In 2013 he directed the series "Bekizur" for the Channel 2 program "Eretz Nehederet" and created Bob Dylan's interactive video for "Like a Rolling Stone." Time magazine ranked that video first among the year's music videos, and it won a Webby Award and 4 Gold Lions at Cannes Lions.

From 2016 he has worked with Gal Muggia, starting with Coldplay's "Up&Up." They went on to make videos for artists such as Dua Lipa, A$AP Rocky and Sabrina Carpenter, and commercials for brands such as Apple and Nike.
