KORA

“Exploring the richness of Filipino culture through elevated hospitality and our family recipes.”

• DESIGNER’S NOTE (me!) •

“There’s more to Filipino cultural design elements than bright purple Ube and the famous star of its country flag. I wanted to root Kora’s visual identity in tradition, family, and the home kitchen. All the soft yet strong elements of Chef Kimberly’s late Lola Corazon, who inspired the recipes and fuel the mission of Kora’s menu. Swipe to learn more about some of the process behind the design.

Being a multi-racial person who isn’t Filipino (but is often mistaken as one lol), this project taught me a lot about how to contribute my unique voice to other unique voices that I didn’t grow up around, and making sure those stories are told genuinely. 👍”
