Who We Are

Why We Started Created for Culture

A personal note from Stephanie

Hi there, I’m so glad you’re here. Welcome to Created for Culture.

This space was created to help families connect with products that celebrate who we are and where we come from. As a mom of three raising my kids between San Francisco and Hawai‘i, I searched for a place that brought these meaningful finds together, a single destination where our heritage felt seen. The products were out there, but they were scattered, often overlooked, and rarely marketed as part of our cultural story. When I couldn’t find that space, I decided to create it.

Created for Culture brings together meaningful finds from AAPI makers and brands, including those you might never have realized were AAPI owned. Each piece is thoughtfully chosen to inspire curiosity, pride, and connection through the everyday moments that shape our families.

My hope is that this becomes more than a marketplace. I want it to be a community that reminds us that culture is something to celebrate, to share, and to pass on with love.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I am so happy you are here.

With gratitude,
Stephanie
