about

pronounced - yah-kin

since 2000, yakin's focus has always been to create something that is cool. this may sound a little unprofessional, but the very aspect of the word is truly the basis of the work. cool is an element that some companies neglect and others find elusive. In reality, cool is what drives a majority of what you own, like, and aspire to achieve...so why not create it?

this doesn’t mean filling some can with a sparkling liquid and slapping a “COOL” label on it. not physically...it is a state of existence that can be applied to just about anything — if you can figure it out.

so, in 2006, yakin works became committed to designing and developing elements and environments, through marketing, advertisement, and commercial distribution, that produce enjoyment, functionality, community development and creative excellence. with the overall campaign in mind, yakin creates and develops for print, web, and interactive project from concept to distribution; as well as supporting you with consulting. this is done in a range of business and media domains such as high tech and manufacturing, broad-viewer interactivity, internet site/domain hosting and development, environment design, game industries, entertainment industries, and others.

yakin works with you, not for you. the main goal is to establish contact and connection, and then provide services that would otherwise be hard to find or pay for. the main focus is you; the client - you are the brand, you are the projects to which creative vehicles are applied. by working with you, yakin becomes a part of the project, as either a developing partner or by handling it entirely, while you tend to other things. it is solely a matter of how much you want yakin works to work with you.
