Maui Kai Malone is a Los Angeles-based SAG-eligible actress and model.
The Actor
I have studied acting for over a decade at various schools, including The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, Margie Haber Studios, Loyola Marymount University, The Actor’s Group Orlando, and I have current plans for studying at Berg Studios. Through these classes I have learned scene study, audition technique, screen acting, theatrical acting, improvisation, voice and speech, and more. Given my wide range in acting ability, I lean into projects that are challenging and require a vast depth of character. I love to become characters that are multifaceted and serve complicated stories that leave the audience in a state of introspection after. That being said, as much as I love a good comedic performance, emotional dramas are what get me going as an actor. I am no stranger to the stage or screen, having both plays and film credits under my belt. As a recent college graduation I am now taking the time to take my career seriously now that school is no longer a hindrance. Below you can find my resume.

The Model
I have both print modeling and runway modeling experience. I have walked twice in New York Fashion Week for my clothing line, Maui X Lolita, and will be walking again in February 2024 for the FW24 Season. I have been featured multiple times in British Vogue and Vanity Fair for both their print and digital publications. My modeling path is primarily in the high fashion industry, though I am interested in getting involved in the beauty and makeup modeling space. Below you can see a few examples of my work.

Business & Fashion
I am the Co-Founder of luxury womenswear brand Maui X Lolita (Maui by Lolita). I created alongside my mother during the summer of 2020. While she is the acting CEO and head designer, I am the acting CFO and Creative Director. I also oversee all marketing operations for the brand. Since MxL's launch, we have had three NYFW shows as well as a debut in Paris Fashion Week. We have been featured in British Vogue, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, and more, with articles in Medium, Authority Magazine, Glitter Magazine, Essence, and more.
