Kayla M. Walker
Commissioning Editor
Kayla M. Walker is VOL’s Commissioning Editor, always looking a little beyond the obvious next story. She finds the emerging designers, independent houses, and practical questions that deserve attention before they become consensus. Her commissioning is guided by curiosity and care, with a clear sense that new voices should be met on their own terms rather than measured against an old template.
