Hi, I’m Kayla Huynh. I’m a student artist and aspiring filmmaker with a passion for animation, illustration, and storytelling. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Animation at the California College of the Arts, where I work on senior thesis projects and collaborate with peers to bring ideas to life on screen. My studies blend traditional and digital techniques, and I enjoy storyboarding, character design, and short films that explore emotion and movement. In addition to my creative work, I have hands-on experience in customer service and teamwork from my role at Harkins Theatres, where I supported concessions and theatre operations. I’m excited to apply my art and storytelling skills to collaborative projects in film and media, and I love learning new tools, experimenting with visuals, and sharing my process with others.
