Hello!
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 a minor 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.
Beyond sports, 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.
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.
