The Founder

Kayla Ashley Jagusch

I’m the founder of Even Numbers, an artist, designer, and creative consultant specializing in material R&D, experience design, brand activations, and community building.

An American with Hungarian and German roots, I grew up in New York City and now call Milan home. My work is fueled by a passion for building meaningful connections and drawing inspiration from local communities, markets, culture, and the vibrant food and beverage scene.

My creative journey started early—immersed in art classes, summer programs, and art-focused schools that shaped my path. I deepened this foundation through pre-college courses at FIT, followed by a Bachelor’s in Textile Design and a Master’s in Visual Brand Design. Growing up with a mother who was both an artist and a community-builder, I learned that creativity has the power to bring people together—whether around a shared table, a neighborhood event, or a moment of celebration.

Professionally, I’ve worked with Louis Vuitton, GAP, and David Yurman in New York City, and more recently with TikTok, Dr. Martens, and Uniqlo in Europe. My work has been featured in Vanity Fair and Donna Moderna, highlighting both the artistry and community impact behind my projects.

That ethos eventually led me to create Even Numbers—a community where art and connection meet. The name comes from growing up as a triplet, where balance, harmony, and inclusion were essential. No one should ever feel left out, and this philosophy continues to guide everything I do.

Over the past decade, I’ve blended artistry, storytelling, and community into every project—curating experiences, illustrating, designing, and leading creative direction across industries like fashion, jewelry, textiles, and hospitality.

Whether you’re new to a city, seeking meaningful connections, wanting to inspire your team, or expanding your creative horizons, my work offers a space to slow down, create, and connect beyond the digital world.

Let’s collaborate and bring something meaningful to life.
