My name is Kairi Mano, and I am an aspiring creative in Houston, Texas, currently working as a Live Content Creator for Major League Baseball. Originally from Tokyo, Japan. I am a junior at Rice University, majoring in Sports Management with minors in Statistics and Data Science.
My work focuses on photography, videography, and video editing, with a passion for capturing both the energy of competition and the quieter moments that make sports memorable.
In addition to my role with MLB, I serve as a Sports Photographer for the Rice Thresher, where I help produce visual content that highlights the stories behind the athletes and the teams.
I also work as a Freelance photographer and videographer and am trusted by brands like VKTRY, Veloci Running, and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, with previous experience also as a Creative Assistant for Rice Athletics. I take pride in exceeding expectations and creating work that leaves a lasting impression. Whether on the field or behind the scenes, my goal is to deliver creative work that resonates long after the moment has passed.
