Hello, Poketo Friends!

About Me

LOOKING FOR A FEW INTERNS: SEND US YOUR RESUME TO [email protected] TO APPLY!We collaborate with artists and create wallets, tees, and throw art shows. You can find Poketo designs by artists all over the world in boutiques, museum stores, and online at our site, poketo.com . We are stoked to be working with such amazing artists!

My Interests

Taco truck on Sunset. Parking lot taco stand on Beaudry. Stand up & slurp ramen stands in tokyo. Kimchi anything. Bertillon ice cream, stinky cheeses and ugly sausages in Paris. Boat noodles in Bangkok. Good ceviche and horchata on a hot summer day. Backyard barbecues, picking and eating limes and oranges from our trees. Record shopping at amoeba. Seeing art we like. Collabing with rad artists all over the world that we admire. Family. Friends. Life. Art. Music. Travel. Love.

I'd like to meet:

You and your friends!

Music:

Scrabbel, Architecture in Helsinki, The Go! Team, Elliott Smith, Yo La Tengo, Sea&Cake, Postal Service, Missy Elliott, Roots, MIA, Interpol....and many many more

Movies:

Weather Underground, Doctor Zhivago, March of the penguins, Lost in Translation, Almodovar, Wong Kar Wai, Zhang Yi Mou, Ang Lee, Wes Anderson.... and how do I name them all?

Television:

In SF, all I had was radio. All I get are a handful of fuzzy channels. But it would have to be PBS: food shows on Saturday mornings and afternoons, Frontline is my number one favorite show. Globe Trecker is great. TV sucks most of the time. I prefer radio: PRI's This American Life, The Best of our Knowledge and KCRW

Books:

Lately, I've been passing through are Giant Robot, Beautiful/Decay, The Drama, Dwell, ReadyMade, Broken Umbrella, Hot and Cold. Tipping Point.

Heroes:

Family, friends, you, you, and you!
