About  /  naya gause

Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Naya spent her childhood between skateparks, the beach, Georgia, and eventually Hawaiʻi, where she was raised in a Japanese household. Of Japanese, Greek, German, and Bahamian descent, her multicultural upbringing and lifelong passion for competitive surfing naturally led her into modeling, beginning her career in 2019. Since then, she has worked with brands including Madewell, Ilia Beauty, Aloha Collection, and We Are HAH, walked for Jacquemus, and appeared in billboard campaigns across New York, Los Angeles, and Times Square. Now represented by The Industry LA, Naya is excited to continue expanding into fashion, beauty, and editorial while bringing her adventurous spirit and authentic perspective to every project.
