Adiva was born in 1989 in Akko, Israel. He grew up in a creative household and taught himself digital tools before pursuing work in computer-generated imagery (CGI) and design. In an interview with Visual Atelier, he stated that he began creating digital art more than a decade ago, starting with 3D software such as Cinema 4D R11.

Adiva founded Yambo Studio in 2014. The studio produces CGI and motion design for technology and consumer sectors. Stash profiled the studio’s collaboration with Wix on the Wix Studio launch film (2023), crediting both the Wix in-house motion team and Yambo Studio. The studio has also contributed visual assets to projects associated with Microsoft’s Flipgrid platform. Adobe’s Behance Blog featured the Microsoft Flipgrid Backgrounds project, which lists Yambo Studio among the credited creators.

He has directed a design studio that produced CGI and motion projects for commercial clients. His work has been presented in institutional exhibitions, including the Tel Aviv Biennale of Crafts and Design at the Eretz Israel Museum, Color at Design Museum Holon, and Desktop: A Physical Exhibition about a Digital Era at the Haifa Museum of Art.
