Kayla Hillman grew up on a zoo in a small southern town, an unconventional upbringing that shaped her appreciation for nature, animals, individuality, and creative expression. Drawn to fashion and styling from a young age, Kayla used clothing as a form of self-expression in a place where she stood out both culturally and creatively. Outside of modeling, Kayla loves music, sewing, cats, and trying new coffee shops with friends.
