About Us

Creatures of Kwento was created by a duo – Alex and Shilyn – who combined their love of storytelling and cultural history to share to others. Shilyn’s interest in Philippine Mythology started small, just listening to stories from her grandparents and reading whatever was available on the internet. But when her grandfather passed away in 2017, she felt that a huge part of her Philippine heritage went missing. She dove into what she knew best – sewing – and learned about different clothing and textiles, but always kept coming back to the lore that is Philippine Mythology. Alex started young with his love for all things fantasy. It began with reading books that contained mythological creatures and playing games, turning it into a chance to share the education and love within the business with his partner Shilyn.
