PATINAPATINA Magazine is a print publication and cultural arts organization launched in 2024. Curious about the confusion of mixed cultural identities, the magazine works with diasporic artists whose work reinterprets tradition through contemporary lenses/contexts.
Dan's work has been recognized by organizations such as USM Modular Furniture, DesignMiami, and the Royal Ontario Museum. He is a graduate of OCAD University’s Industrial program [2023]. PATINAPATINA Issue 01 can be found in shops around the world.
