ABOUT KAILA O'CONNOR

At age 29, Kaila O'Connor discovered Human Design while listening to a podcast during her commute to a conference.  The next day, she walked into her corporate PR job at 8am - handed over her lab top and quit - with no plan, no job lined up. Just a knowing that she desired to feel better - and now knew it was possible. 

Fascinated by energy dynamics and human design, Kaila founded KMO Consulting in December 2020 - driven by a vision of innovatively approaching PR - and rebranded to KMO HAUS (Humans are Uniquely Special) in 2024 with the same, yet more crystalized vision.

KMO HAUS currently serves DTC (direct-to-consumer) brands and PR professionals in affiliate PR consulting + education in tandem to individual and team energy use and guidance using the human design system.

Unlike traditional agencies, KMO HAUS focuses on how a person feels while doing their job - the individual energy use behind the strategic action. 

Since December 2020, Kaila made the conscious effort to remain intention on workload - avoiding the hamster wheel feel of traditional agencies. She believed that it was possible to feel good, not burn out and scale her business and her clients' programs. She defined a new internal PR agency model for herself and the industry as a whole.

with a maximum of 3-6 clients at a time, KMO has generated over 5 million dollars in affiliate revenue and secured 4000+ top-tier media placements for its DTC brand clients, and trained 300+ industry professionals consisting of PR agency teams, internal brand teams and the entire Conde Nast commerce editorial team. 

At the core of Kaila’s work is her focus on blending human energy in tandem to metric-driven industry strategies.

When these two are combined within corporate operations she has witnessed first hand in her own business and countless clients' - that it fosters and creates a more productive and highly autonomous work culture + reduces turnover and hiring costs.

With a dedicated heart and focused mind, Kaila sets new standards for individuality and success in the workforce and expands perspectives for what’s possible.
