Our Story
Kaizen Eyes (KZ) was founded in 2022 by a group of childhood friends living together in Los Angeles, California. Our company is run by four co-CEO's from distinct backgrounds who coincided in Cincinnati, Ohio during our earlier years.
After years of knowing each other, the leaders of KZ initially went in separate directions after high school. However, various factors led to three of us reuniting in LA in 2021; where we found a common drive to build something for ourselves and do what makes us happy. We all loved art, music, fashion, and sports - and developed distinct talents in graphic design, videography, and photography through the years. We chose to combine these passions and skill sets into what is now Kaizen Eyes in 2022. Since then, we have designed, edited, shot for, and worked with various artists, athletes and dreamers; while also releasing 5 major projects; one of which was a custom collection for the Los Angeles Lakers roster.
Our company's name comes from the Japanese term "Kaizen," which in short, stands for "continuous improvement." This name is essential to our story and mindset, as KZ was built on the idea that each day is an opportunity to be better than the day before.
Our mission is to embody this philosophy with every project, piece, or simple sketch we make. As a collective, we are driven to try and fail in the name of improvement - and in turn, we hope to deliver you innovative and original work that will stand the test of time. We are eager to share our passions with you and hope you stick around to see what's next - we guarantee it will be better than our last, because in the end, it's all about KAIZEN.
