Fayth Koga . Relaxocat

Fayth Koga was born in Chicago, raised in Los Angeles, and a Chicagoan since 1995.  Having worked as a tech consultant, with a focus on Operations and Finance, for the past two decades she left that world after the start-up she was working for was acquired in 2015. Fayth took that opportunity to step away from consulting altogether and take an indefinite period of time off to decide, in her words,  what "she wanted to be when she grew up".  As a lover of music, photography and art, over the years she's written about all of them for the NBC Chicago Street Team Online and for Tribune Media.  She founded Chicago's first Instagram community, I G ers Chicago in 2011, which she currently runs along with 3 of her friends who joined her  in 2014.  The community which has over 34K followers, host meet-ups to bring photographers together at different locations throughout the city.  Fayth has been taking photographs since childhood, so nstagram naturally became her  favorite social media platform. Although she claims she is not an influencer, her own following under the moniker of "Relaxocat" has a community of almost 38K followers.
