of Creative Exploration
Hello, I'm Brendan Wan, a creative entrepreneur based in the Bay Area. This website serves as a documentation of my discoveries and obsessions throughout the years. When I'm not working on new ideas, you’ll probably find me drawing in my math notebook, playing ice hockey, or tucked away in a coffee shop.

Wan Project™
(2023-2024)
I created this project as a creative studio initiative to explore and document the intersection of American society and Asian heritage—a moment where cultural boundaries blur and long-standing traditions begin to converge. Out of this confluence emerges what we understand as Asian American subculture: a distinct identity shaped by the expectations of American life and the inherited values of Asian upbringing. Through videography, apparel design, and curated lookbooks, the studio captures this fleeting, hybrid experience, freezing fugitive moments of a childhood shaped within a cultural chasm, a confluence of memory, aesthetics, culture, and identity
