Hayami is a boutique development and brand strategy agency. We work directly with talent to develop their unique look, professional skills, and overall presence.

Our mission is to prepare talent to confidently stand before the world’s leading agencies and managers. We also work with established talent, helping place them with agencies that best align with their individual brand and long-term goals.

Founded by Charika White, Hayami is built on over 13 years of industry experience. Charika has a proven track record of scouting and developing talent who have signed with major global agencies and worked with some of the world’s most recognized brands.

We focus on placing talent in larger markets by strengthening personal brand and professional presence. We believe true preparation matters more than quick attention. Instead of chasing short-term trends, we make thoughtful, strategic moves that support long-term success. Our guidance helps talent show up with confidence, clarity, and credibility qualities top agencies and brands expect.

Our work is selective and guided by high standards. We partner with individuals who are professional, accountable, and culturally aware. We value talent who understand the global nature of fashion and film and who deliver strong, consistent work every time they walk into a room. Whether developing new faces or helping established talent move into bigger markets, every step is handled with purpose and care.
