Lifestyle products and events.
At Tekiosk, we believe in the power of design with purpose. Our mission is to celebrate life, people, culture, biodiversity, and creativity—through mindful design. We believe in the power of community, and our seasonal events are all about bringing people together to strengthen human, social, economic, and cultural ties.
Helping independent artists with self-distribution by hosting pop up shops and seasonal events that unite like-minded individuals, we aim to cultivate a space where creativity thrives and sustainability leads the way.
From inspiring stories to impactful projects, we’ve been featured in top outlets like *Huffington Post*, *Univision*, *Stanford Radio*, and *NPR*. We’re also honored to have received prestigious awards like the Zaragoza Awards and recognition from the California Senate for our work in driving positive change. So, whether you’re a small business owner, a local creator, or just someone who loves good design, we invite you to join the movement.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From our production process to our shipping methods, we take every step with the environment in mind. All of our products are made on demand, ensuring that every item is carefully produced to maintain the highest standards of quality, while reducing waste and overproduction.
To further minimize our impact, we ship only once a month, helping to cut down on carbon emissions and streamline logistics. Each product we create is designed to solve real-world challenges in the communities we support, particularly around the issue of migration. Our goal? To empower communities to thrive locally, so the need to migrate becomes a choice, not a necessity.
History
Tekiosk started with a simple idea: to help sustainable producers and conscious consumers connect in a way that benefits both people and the planet. Our roots are grounded in providing organic, high-quality products and unique designs for those who care about what they buy and where it comes from. Quality, value, and mindful living have always been our guiding principles.Since day one, we've partnered with MCO and renowned designer Adriana Pavón to bring meaningful designs to life. What started with a focus on textiles has grown into a diverse offering, from goods to services that champion education, sustainable living, commerce, and the arts. We believe that good design can change the world, and we’re just getting started.
Community
At Tekiosk, community is everything. We connect ethical organizations and individuals to create sustainable development and bring positive change to the communities we serve. It all began with a deep respect for indigenous cultures, and it has evolved into a broader mission focused on entrepreneurship, financial justice, and self-sustainability.
Through initiatives like the LAB, HUB, and PRO, we’ve built spaces for collaboration where indigenous and local entrepreneurs come together to share knowledge and create new opportunities. By fostering these partnerships, we believe we’re helping build stronger, more resilient communities—one that prioritizes social impact and economic justice.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Isa Jubes
Stanford University radio host
I met Adriana Pavón around 2016 when she was receiving an award at Stanford University for her outstanding work with the LatinX and Mesoamerican native populations.
I have seen MCO organizing support for victims of earthquakes and natural disasters, and successfully procuring and delivering food, blankets, and basic needs for people affected by disasters when they most need it. Consistently had worked ethically for the community, and have all my admiration and support in all the endeavors.
Max Ceballos
Former MCO resident
Being someone creative I asked to be involved.
MCO's house is like a portal of connection , honesty , and love. As cheesy as that sounds it's my personal opinion . It’s truly magical. I can really see the house being like a hub or beacon of something very profound It is starting to set some real foundation to do something meaningful from the core of my honest, creative, and authentic self which I am also benefiting from the reciprocation of love and connection . I feel like I'm with my family whenever I am teaching here and that would not have happened without MCO's support .

In times of disaster I know of MCO's humanitarian efforts, particularly of how they provided key help during the earthquake of 2017 through collecting over 40 tons of goods and services and her involvement in the economic recovery campaign during the Covid pandemia.
I have supported as a client and I have recommended friends who have supported the work as well. Our experience has always been a great one. The merchandise has always arrived in good shape and on time and she has sent videos of the artist and processes of how they are made with emphasis of showcasing and honoring the origin of the community and traditions.
