Kahoy Kollection is an independent West Coast eyewear and accessories brand rooted in California and the Islands. As co-founder, I’ve contributed to the brand’s creative direction through content creation and product development, helping shape its identity and connect with audiences across local and international markets. Named after the Filipino word for “wood,” Kahoy Kollection draws inspiration from its coastal roots while building a grassroots presence through pop-ups and community connections in Spain, Hawaii, the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand.
