The company was founded in 2016 by Kayoko Suzuki-Lange, a creative editorial director, and it produced an annual, branded coffee table guidebook titled DTLA Book in 2017, 2018, and 2019.
During and after the pandemic, while book publishing was on hold, the company has been offering branding, and creative design services for clients, such as Halo—a newly developed gathering place at Wells Fargo Center on Bunker Hill. (client: Brookfield Properties)
Why the name District 8 Media?
District 8 is the fictional space where our company operates.
According to numerology, the number eight balances the material and immaterial worlds. At its best, it is as spiritual as it is materialistic.
The spiritual side of the number is practical, realistic, and intelligent. It knows the difference between make-believe and genuine spiritual realizations.
On the material plane, it is focused on results, often in the form of money, yet it is not greedy; it sees money as a tool, not an end result. Instead, it is generous and willing to take risks.
And if you rotate it 90˚, it transforms into the infinity symbol.
