Vendor Bio:

It all began with our mutual love for food. Coming from families who could not even afford “happy meals,” we treasured each occasional treat we could have.

We understood the sacrifices our parents made to come to America and wanted to make them proud; so we decided to put our heads down and pursue nursing—which is seen as respectable, stable, and safe.

However, having entrepreneurial spirits, we also wanted to pursue our passions and interests.

As we started nursing school, we simultaneously dipped our feet into the food industry. We knew this would be difficult but necessary to build a life of no regrets. We were eventually promoted as managers for four popular food concepts: Shrimp Daddy (Hawaiian-style garlic butter shrimp), Junbi (ceremonial-grade matcha), Chi Chi Dango (fluffy shaved ice paired with homemade mochi), and Wingchix (Japanese Tebasaki wings).

We devoted every weekend to managing these concepts at Smorgasburg LA, in addition to events such as Coachella, 626 and OC Night Market. As we look back, all the time and effort invested was worth it, as we were able to: build lifetime friendships, pursue our passions, and learn the ropes of running a business under the guidance of our wonderful mentors.

We said our goodbyes to the food industry as we graduated college, but began to feel nostalgic about the vast amount of flavors and aromas that used to surround us. Many of our best memories were made over good food so we decided to encapsulate them into fragrances for all to enjoy—this is how KYDO was born.
