About isiko
Hi, my name is Janna, owner, designer, artist, curator and all the hats wearing woman of isiko!
After studying Anthropology in college I yearned to immerse myself in the lives of others, specifically indigenous
Imbued with the experiences from my childhood and my time in the Peace Corps I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of creating a platform that celebrates traditional handicrafts and art forms of all cultures around the world. For the world. That's why when I moved back to California I combined all of my passions into one and created what is now, isiko. I am beyond grateful to have a platform that gives back to under-served communities. All that so say: it wouldn't be possible without the people that I serve. You. So thank YOU for your unconditional support, enthusiasm, and love.
Each piece is handmade and sourced with love from my heart to yours.
Xo,
Janna
