Hello! I'm Kayla, an Art Director and Designer, living and working in New York City.

With over 8 years of in-house, agency and freelance experience, including NYLON, SoundCloud, Target and Gates Creative. I work at all steps of the creative process from ideation through post-production, including brand activation, campaign, digital, print, video, OOH, and more. I work on teams to create spreadable, energetic work that sparks consumer collaboration.
