Kahnita Wilkerson is a multi-hyphenate creative devoted to experiencing and expressing as much as she can.

Upon graduating from the University of Oregon with degrees in Cultural Anthropology and Cinema Studies, the LA-born, Portland-raised collector-at-heart embarked on a journey that has woven through the costume department of Portlandia, sideline interviews with elite pro athletes, fine vegan dining in Melbourne, on-location shoots for global campaigns and more. Guided by her endless pursuit of learning, she has shaped a professional career that highlights her ability to strategize, produce, and market products and cultural moments for the world’s biggest brands. 

Equal parts tech maven and creative strategist, Kahnita helped shape global marketing campaigns and product launches at lululemon and Alo Yoga and produced social video content for digital-first platforms like POPSUGAR, BuzzFeed, and MTV. Now, a decade into her career, she is a stylist, leads the marketing strategy at Est Ovest Style, and owns and operates her vintage shop Meri Mai Vintage – an homage to the rich artistry of her Thai heritage and manifestation of her eclectic taste. When she’s not working, you’ll find her indulging in her love of baking, scouring thrift store racks, or painting ceramics in her studio – always with a cup of coffee and playlist on shuffle.
