HELLO! My name is Keili.

Sounds like "KAY-lee."

Most people probably know me as a freckled Asian girl who tends to smile a lot. Well, they aren't wrong. I'm half Chinese and half Filipino, born and raised in Southern California. I do my best to always look on the bright side, and when things don't go my way, I see them as growing opportunities. In my experience, this has included falling in love, falling out of love, falling in love again, occasionally not getting cell service, and not being able to reach the top shelf.

I love to go to the beach, ride my bike, and eat tacos. I have always loved fruit and used to give my watermelon rinds to the horses when I would ride as a kid. I love when jeans fit just right or when baggy clothes bring out a new sense of freedom at the end of a long day. I think that fanny packs are one of the smartest inventions ever created. Sunglasses are a must year-round. I wear Chapstick on the daily. The Sprinkler is my go-to dance move.

Self-expression is so important. I'm not one to bottle things up. Words are powerful. Words put to music is wonderful. Interweave words and music with visuals, and it's magical. Art helps us relate with one another and sink in the fact that we are all only human. Beauty can be found anywhere.

As humans,
We are not alone.
We inspire each other to keep going.
We are flawed, but we are worthy.
Of love.
Of opportunity.
Of being compassionate.

The songs that I write are about life journeys.
The photos that I capture mark a moment in time.
The films that I create tell a story for me, for you, for my family and friends. Even the ones I don't know yet.
To connect.
To feel.
​To be empowered.
To be kind to ourselves and each another.

Thank you for stopping by.

xx,
