Mikayla Davis

Artist Statement

I’m Mikayla—a Texas-born artist, actor, and designer who believes in the power of love, and strong emotions. I grew up in a creative, hardworking environment that taught me to appreciate the little things: family, comfort food, and making something beautiful out of what you’ve got. My favorite color is green, and I’ve loved dinosaurs since I was little. I’m also a hopeless romantic who believes love can be found in unexpected places. I’m passionate about acting, design, and all kinds of creative expression. When I’m not working on a project, you can probably find me watching a musical, drawing something weird and heartfelt, or eating something delicious (I’ve got a soft spot for pizza, pasta, and anything with cheese).

Mark Twain said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”

I think I’m still figuring out the “why”—but every time I create something, I feel a little closer to it. Whether I’m acting, designing, or building a story from scratch, I’m chasing that feeling of purpose. Like I was meant to bring ideas to life in a way that makes people feel seen, understood, or just a little less alone.

Creating helps me connect the dots between who I am and who I’m becoming. And maybe, in some way, that’s my “why.”
