well hello there.
i’m kayla.
after being a fan of people, stories, experiences, entertainment, and life since childhood, I started BKT with a simple idea:
to do that professionally.
from putting on ballet shoes to writing fanfiction in the darkness of a one direction-postered bedroom, I always knew my passion & purpose in life was storytelling — no matter the catalyst.
as a performing arts kiddo, I draw my inspiration from stage, screen, and sound, where I first discovered my love for stories. in dance class, the movements of choreography I retained & performed spoke volumes to audiences. in college, the scenes in movies I watched & wrote essays about gained more substance with every showing.
I am enthralled by the why of it all — why this frame transitions into the next, why this movement flows to this beat… the intentional decisions that convey meaning & expand a story further than its plot.
so when it comes to the stories I tell here at BKT — visual or written — you can always expect an authenticity & cinematic flair that will leave you, me, and your own audience raving.
meet your professional fangirl in portland, oregon + beyond.
