Kana LeMai

(Kah-nuh Leh-may)

With over a decade of experience in event production and brand storytelling, I bring a thoughtful balance of structure and creativity to every project I touch. My journey began in the U.S. Marine Corps, where I developed a strong foundation in discipline, adaptability, and follow-through—skills that now shape how I lead teams and manage experiences with care and precision.

Over the years, I’ve worn many hats: personal assistant, content creator, photographer, and creative producer. This blend of roles has taught me how to see the big picture while honoring the small details that make every production meaningful. Whether managing vendors, guiding a vision, or capturing moments behind the lens, I’m passionate about creating experiences that connect, inspire, and leave lasting impact.

At the heart of my work is a love for building ecosystems—thoughtful, well-designed experiences that boost visibility, foster community, and bring bold ideas to life.
