Kayla is a chef, storyteller and curator.

Completely self-taught, she began her first pastry business at 19, supplying  baked goods to coffee shops and cafes in her hometown of Phoenix, Arizona.  At 22, she moved to New York City to pursue her culinary dreams of combining food with different art mediums. Since then, she’s worked for the likes of Christina Tosi of Milk Bar and Amanda Cohen of Dirt Candy, a Michelin-Starred vegetable restaurant. She has created interactive food installations at art galleries and produced dreamy content for renowned food brands. She has worked with Ghetto Gastro, a Bronx-based culinary collective, to cook for events from The Recording Academy Honors to Freize LA. She hosts pop-ups around the city and caters private events as she continues to build her culinary brand. 

Chef Kayla creates everything from an intuitive and spiritual place. She has a "play with your food" attitude when it comes to fresh produce and ingredients, and always lets her dishes narrate the story. What she doesn't have in the form of classic training, she makes up for with her curious mind, playfulness and creativity.
