Kayla is a mixed Asian-Hawaiian producer, photographer, and videographer. She is fueled by the opportunity to tell stories that give people the space to see joy reflected in their own cultures and experiences and is especially passionate about supporting marginalized and underrepresented stories.

Her favorite projects are often the ones she finds most challenging. From producing and filming a snow sport film, coordinating logistics for a short film nearly 5000 miles away, or finding a healthy meal for crew in remote cabin towns across the West Coast.

She is currently in post production for her short documentary, Chasing Wind and is also developing a short narrative, Fibromywhatnow?.

When she’s not working, you can usually find her in the mountains, playing soccer, or rating the lattes of the West Coast!
