Human Connection Through Creativity & Sound
To celebrate our Sephora launch, we welcomed over 200 guests to NeueHouse for a powerful evening exploring the intersection of creativity, sound, and human connection. The event featured an inspiring conversation with visionary leaders Hugh Evans, CEO & Founder of Global Citizen; Nazanin Mandi, author, entrepreneur, and SI Rookie of the Year; and William Etundi, Founder and CEO of CX. The panel was moderated by Traci Oshiro, Executive Director of Live Video Production at Condé Nast. Together, they delved into themes of purpose, self-expression, and inner wellness.
The evening embodied the Katini Skin philosophy — blending thought leadership with authenticity, community, and the transformative power of intention.
