Hi, I‘m Kayla

✦ Freelance Art Director based in Brooklyn

I am a designer and art director who loves forming ideas into arresting visuals. I’ve been doing this for a while, and two things have kept me happy in this career: I get to bring consideration to things we see and use every day, and I get to be surrounded by like-minded people who keep me inspired and brimming with new ideas. 

No matter what I’m working on my goal is to only put things out in the world that work well and delight users. I have worked on a range of projects from beauty to politics, and at the core of every brief is effective communication and visuals that leave an impact.

I like to communicate clearly and simply while always maintaining good aesthetics. I have been regularly complimented on being a positive team collaborator, a thoughtful problem solver, a clear presenter, and an adobe wiz. If your brand could use some out-of-the-box thinking and a fresh perspective, let’s chat!
