​​​​​​Hi, my name is Kaiya and I am a Surfacing & Look development artist based in Vancouver, Canada.

 

I enjoy adding intricate details to my work to make it feel more believable and emotionally engaging for the audience.

I grew up in a multicultural environment—born in South Korea, raised in Australia and Canada, studied Animation / VFX in the United States. My international background strongly influences my artistic perspective and creative approach.

I’m passionate about collaboration and truly believe in the magic that comes from creating with others. Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors, especially swimming and taking photos.
