About WoWoKo

Wo · Wo · Co

WoWoKo was conceptualized back in 2018 as a passion project to drive more interest to Asian Culture

As a result, the founder David Wong (WoWoWong) started streaming in 2020 to foster a community and to fund this project. By spring of 2023 WoWoKo officially started in May also known as AAPI heritage month. This was a conscious decision in order to build the brand under the focus of Asian representation.

WoWoKo was created under the ideals that the Asian American community was under represented, and there were finer intricacies to Asian culture than the world has yet to see. By focusing on the origins of Asian tropes within our designs, the goal for WoWoKo is to spark interest beyond the common perception of Asian culture.

Inspired by Asian creators before him, the founder built this brand in order to build greater awareness towards the Asian American experience. To not only contribute towards the movement, but to see that this dream becomes a reality, not only for himself, but also for those that have supported his journey along the way

Everyone deserves a voice, and everyone deserves to be seen.
