POKETO! Put it in your pocket.

By Gene X HwangPublished On: April 17th, 2010

I recently did some press portraits for Los Angeles based (but San Francisco founded!) super collaborators – Poketo. Founders Ted Vadakan and Angie Myung have been collaborating with artists and designers from all over the world, creating limited edition wallets – art that fits in your pocket!

They’ve been in action since 2004. They have grown so much from their humble beginnings and are now established producers of artist-designed lifestyle wares.

Spend some time on their sleek new site: http://poketo.com

And to learn a little about their story, read this profile about them in the LA Times.

And one last little tidbit – I had the honor of shooting Ted and Angie’s wedding back in 2008! Building relationships, seeing people’s trajectories, being a part of their community – I have to say, so many perks this ‘ol photography gig has. Congrats Poketo. Keep the goodness going!
