Nostalgia is a streetwear clothing line based out of San Francisco. I’ve been an intern for them over the last few years, taking on roles such in design, digital marketing, and brand identity. Over the years, we’ve worked together to build a strong community of over 100k followers across Instagram and TikTok, millions of impressions, and appearances in Complex, Vogue Philippines, and more. As a Filipino designer working with a Filipino-owned brand, we’ve been able to carve out a unique identity that speaks to our culture and shared experiences. Coming from a background where “stable” career paths are often expected, our goal has been to inspire the next generation to chase their creative passions while staying connected to their roots.
