About Me
My name is Kaila, and creation is the driving force of who I am.

My skill set is diverse - I have over 7 years' experience as a Mass Communication Specialist in the United States Navy producing written, photographic, and video documentation of history to be preserved and referenced for years to come.
My job brought me from the shores of Yokosuka, Japan, to the base of Mount Vesuvius in Italy, to hovering over 1,000 feet in a helicopter while directing a fleet of multi-nation Naval assets to get into position for the perfect photograph.
Beyond the lens, I have practiced the circus arts of aerial hoop and pole dance since 2023. Paired with nearly two decades of practice with theatrical makeup, these disciplines allow me to transform characters and stories into immersive performances for both visual media and live events.
Marionette is my stage name, my creative identity, and the embodiment of my artistic philosophy. When a vision takes hold, no matter how fantastical, I find a way to pull the strings and bring it to life.
Whether it be capturing dreamscapes through surreal photo and cinematography, bringing unforgettable energy to your space with traditional circus arts, or developing a visual identity through personal branding;
Marionette's Media and Motion is a true vessel for artists to shine in the spotlight. If you've ever felt too strange or too bright to fit into the world around you, I will help you create your own world.Â
You bring the vision. I'll pull the strings.
