About
Hi there, I'm Kayla a passionate and dedicated creative with a love for bringing ideas to reality. I'm a gentle-natured team player who thrives in collaborative environments. Over the past few years, I’ve had the Opportunity to use a wide range of skill including Illustration, Storyboarding, concept art, 3D Art & UI Design.
When I’m not creating for work, you’ll likely find me illustrating just for fun, relaxing with a cozy game and a cup of tea, or diving into a board game night with friends. I’m happiest when creativity and good company come together.
