The Shoppe
I’m Tricia Tanaka — a dreamer, creator, and above all, a lover of life. Born in Los Angeles, I’ve had the privilege of living in New York, Montreal, and Mexico, experiences that have deeply shaped my perspective and creative voice. I hold a degree in Graphic Design from Cal Poly Pomona, but much of my artistic journey has been self-taught and fueled by curiosity. I launched my own fashion label and founder of Spiders & Caviar. In recent years, I embraced new forms of expression, exploring pyrography, woodworking, and furniture restoration — expanding my practice beyond design and fashion into tactile, soulful creations.
Philosophy, travel, culture, and nature are constant sources of inspiration, guiding my work and my worldview. Creating is an act of devotion: a way of weaving beauty and joy into the world.
