Sun in Libra, Moon in Pixels.
Howdy! I am Kayla and I’m a brand designer based in Berlin. I like to stay open and curious about the world around me. Like a true Libra, I float between different mediums. Whether that medium is design, clothing, or even a simple conversation, I love pulling those different stories, ideas, and feelings and exploring how they might connect. And while I hope to craft beautiful experiences, I strive to create that feeling of delight through collaboration.

Styling
On the side, I work as a stylist. There I help people love what they wear by creating personalized lookbooks curated explicitly for them.
Photo Taking
I’ve accumulated quite a few cameras over the years. Sometimes I take photos with them. These are the ones that bring me joy.
Nerding Out
I am a big Animal Crossing fan. There! I said it. I’m a self-proclaimed super user who’s racked up 800+ hours.
