Hi there! Thanks for stopping by.
We're Team Okina, and we're absolutely obsessed with design, technology, and all things Japanese. Okina means "wise old man" in Japanese, and it's inspired by the sacred figure in the Noh play of the same name. Lucky for us, our work combines our passions perfectly - we create awesome digital content, like web design, mobile apps, games, and more. We hope you'll stick around and check out what we do! So, who are we?
Petko Slavov
As a digital illustrator and content designer, I have the privilege of bringing stories and ideas to life with my art. But in my heart, I'm also a humble servant of the almighty cat Pipi, who graces me with her presence every day. I studied Information Technologies at Veliko Tarnovo University and Japanese Studies at Sofia University, and later earned a PhD in Japanese Classical Literature from Osaka University. When I'm not working or bowing down to the feline overlords, I love exploring new technologies and techniques, as well as delving into the rich history and culture of Japan. If you have a project that could use a touch of whimsy and a whole lot of cat worship, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Yanko Popov
As a programmer and graphic designer, I spend my days bringing my creative visions to life on screen. But in my own head, I'm also a part-time Dark Lord, using my powers for evil (or at least for evil laughs). I studied Japanese Studies at Sofia University, and later earned a masters degree in East Asian Cultures as well as an MBA from Osaka University. When I'm not working or plotting world domination, I love spending my time drawing digitally, playing computer games, and training karate. I'm always on the lookout for new challenges and adventures, so if you have a project that could use a touch of darkness (or just a touch of creativity), don't hesitate to get in touch!
