hey there!!!
My name is Kina, and I am a spatial storyteller. I’ve always been a storyteller through the things I create—bringing life to narratives through the spaces I design. My extensive experience in architectural projects has been enriched by my studies in visual storytelling at LMU’s School of Film and Television, which have further honed my skills. Having completed my major in Interior Architecture, I have refined my 3D design expertise and building a strong foundation for my work as a scenic designer.
​
Beyond my professional work, I’m a dynamic connector who brings energy into building relationships and fostering meaningful connections. Having lived in four diverse cities—Tokyo, Manila, Los Angeles, and Brisbane—I’ve developed a rich tapestry of perspectives and cultural insights that allow me to see the world through a broad and layered lens.
​
With this, I would love to bring your intangible thoughts and visions to life—into a tangible space you might not have believed was even possible to create!

Big fan of an active lifestyle! Played in a competitive U23 football team for a while—definitely where my relentless drive thrives.
​
Big fan of baking and cooking too. Food is more than nutrition!! It builds relationships, connects us. I love hosting, cooking, just eating together with people.
​
Love FaceTiming my parents.
