My name is Kayla Franz and I am a freelance graphic designer, illustrator, and photographer. I started my own branding company, Kayla Jo Design llc. in 2017. Since then, I have broadened my clientele and worked with numerous companies to help capture their voices. I believe that using my artistic ability combined with my knowledge of design technology, helps me to be able to explore brand identities in a unique way.

I expanded my business into photography because I love capturing smiles and moments. I also have always had a strong love for sports, and with photography and graphic design, I found a way to express that love and be involved at a greater scale. I started my photography journey with my highschool alma mater, Lakeville South, then I got involved in the world of Women's Professional hockey with the former Minnesota Whitecaps (2022-2023).
