Who We Are

Hi there,

I’m so excited you’re here! Welcome to Created for Culture. This space was created with the hope of helping families like yours connect with products that celebrate our diverse backgrounds and help kids grow proud of who they are. Thanks for joining me on this journey. I’m so glad to have you with us!

Created for Culture began with a simple yet powerful idea: creating a space where families could easily find products that reflect who we are and help our kids embrace their heritage with pride and confidence.

As a mom of three, I’ve always believed that the things we surround our children with should be more than just useful. They should be meaningful. Raising my kids in both San Francisco and Hawaii, I quickly realized how important it is for them to feel connected to their cultural roots. But I also noticed a problem. There wasn’t a central place where families could discover products that truly celebrated our diverse backgrounds in an authentic, fun way. It was clear something needed to change.

While searching for cultural, and especially Asian-owned, brands to support our community, I found it difficult to find everything I was looking for in one place. I scoured Instagram and Google, but came up short. That’s when the idea for Created for Culture was born.

I wanted to build a space where kids could not only connect with their culture but also feel proud of who they are. I dreamed of creating a platform that would shine a spotlight on AAPI-owned brands and offer families products that celebrate cultural identity in everyday ways, whether through toys, books, clothing, or crafts. Each product is chosen with love to inspire pride, curiosity, and a deeper connection to the world around us.

By partnering with AAPI-owned brands, I’ve been able to offer a curated collection of products that reflect the richness of our heritage, while providing a place for families to feel seen, heard, and celebrated. Every item here has been thoughtfully chosen to help kids grow up proud of their roots and confident in themselves.

Created for Culture is more than just a marketplace. It is a community where families can come together, celebrate diversity, and raise the next generation to be proud of who they are and where they come from.

Thank you for being part of this journey! I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to see how your family connects with the beauty of culture and identity.

Warmly,
Stephanie
