KAYLA RUKAB

I specialize in digital art, motion graphics, and content strategy — combining rigorous technical foundations with creative instinct. My practice spans the full production pipeline: from concept development and storyboarding to animation, post-production, and final delivery.

I work fluently across Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and Lightroom, and I actively integrate AI-powered tools into my workflow to push the boundaries of visual storytelling and content production.

My work spans cultural institutions, international exhibitions, and independent creative projects. I have animated interactive installation elements for the Bienal das Amazônias in Brazil, developed and co-curated exhibitions at the Harn Museum of Art and the University of Florida, designed exhibition catalogues for the Gainesville Fine Arts Association, and built educational multimedia content for museum visitors and student audiences.

I have also served as a mentor, educator, and community outreach coordinator — giving me a rare perspective that connects creative production with audience engagement and institutional strategy.

I am a curious, empathetic, and adaptable creative who approaches every challenge as an opportunity to think differently. I am just as energized working independently deep in a project as I am collaborating within a team. I care deeply about community — that shows up both in my work and in how I spend my time: volunteering with local cultural organizations, participating in beach clean-ups, catching live music, and exploring local coffee shops and bookstores.

Art, technology, music, and visual media are not just professional interests — they are how I experience and engage with the world.
