I'M KALA’I, A 22 YEAR OLD CREATIVE BASED IN BEVERLY HILLS, LOS ANGELES, AND MAUI, HAWAI’I. I RECENTLY GRADUATED WITH A BS IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION WITH AN EMPHASIS IN MARKETING AND MINOR IN DANCE. I HAVE IMMERSED MYSELF IN VARIOUS CREATIVE OUTLETS WITHIN THE DIGITAL REALM THROUGH RUNNING ALL SOCIAL MEDIA FOR THE GAMMA PHI BETA SORORITY, CREATING DIGITAL MEDIA FOR KAPAMILYA, CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY’S FILIPINO CULTURAL CLUB, AND PRODUCING PERSONAL PASSION PROJECTS WITHIN FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHY.

I AM CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT WAYS TO PUSH MY CREATIVITY, WHICH IS WHY YOU WILL MOST LIKELY ALWAYS FIND ME IN MY FREE TIME SHOOTING IN A RANDOM FIELD WITH MY FRIENDS, PULLING ALL-NIGHTERS TO EDIT, THRIFTING UNIQUE PIECES TO STYLE AND SHOOT, OR DANCING FOR HOURS IN THE STUDIO. I PLAN TO PURSUE A CAREER WITHIN THE ENTERTAINMENT, BEAUTY, OR FASHION SPACE, CREATING DIGITAL MEDIA THAT SPARKS MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT AND CONNECTION.

BEING BORN AND RAISED IN MAUI, A MELTING POT OF DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS AND CULTURES, I AM DRIVEN BY AN INNATE PASSION TO CONNECT WITH AND AMPLIFY DIVERSE STORIES. MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO CREATE WORK THAT REALLY RESONATES WITH A MULTITUDE OF AUDIENCES AND SURROUND MYSELF WITH CREATIVES THAT CARRY SHARED VALUES OF COMMUNITY, PURPOSE, AND COLLABORATION.

BUT IF YOU HAPPEN TO FIND ME AND I’M NOT CREATING, YOU’LL PROBABLY SEE ME TRYING OUT NEW RESTAURANTS (I’M A BIG FOODIE), DISCOVERING NEW FASHION TRENDS ON PINTEREST, OR FROLICKING IN NATURE (NATURE IS MY THERAPY).
