Hi, I’m Kaya—pronounced Kai-Ya, like splitting a block of wood (I promise, it sticks). I’m a graphic designer from the South Side of Chicago with a love for bold creativity and visuals that spark connection. My work spans design, illustration, and video production, all with one goal: to make something that feels alive, engaging, and a little magical.

​

Currently, I’m bringing the magic as an Assistant Graphic Design Intern at Disney’s WSHES Creative, where I specialize in crafting visuals that resonate with diverse audiences and stay true to iconic brand standards. I’m also an Art Direction student at Book180, always growing, always learning.

​

Outside of design, I’m fueled by bubble tea adventures (Thai Milk Tea is the ultimate favorite, but I’ll take a Matcha risk now and then). Oh, and my cats—they’re wild, quirky, and 100% waiting for their big break.

​

If you’re into bold ideas, captivating visuals, or just want to trade bubble tea recommendations, let’s connect.
