Patrick Santa Ana is a designer who owns Elev8, a Long Beach, CA-based boutique featuring independent
designer fashion lines, new t-shirt brands, and exquisitely curated vintage clothing. As a professional buyer and
distributor, his keen eye for classic fashion as well as up and coming trends has allowed him to support both his
Filipino kababayan designers as well as other emerging clothing and accessory design talents by showcasing
their lines in his store as well as other boutiques and online stores all over Southern California.
Patrick's mission is to discover and showcase design talent within the Filipino community and to encourage Filipi-
nos to appreciate and support each other's talents. The aim of ELEV8 is to provide a platform for new designers
to launch their lines and learn to develop their businesses - and to show young entrepreneurs that doing busi-
ness well is not only a discipline but an artistic endeavor in itself.
