Meet the team behind Fika.
Hi! We’re Jamie, Will, and Sonika, the creators of Fika.
We met in design school almost a decade ago and have been friends ever since. After working remotely in various design jobs, we felt there was something missing...
In an increasingly digital-first world, meaningful face-to-face interaction is harder and hardto come by “Connections” are made behind a screen. Work can be completed on your couch or by the beach. We believe a crucial part of the creative process is lost along the way.
Making time to meet with a mentor, client, or creative we admire has opened new doors, taught us skills, and provided inspiration countless times. Often, those people we first met over a simple cup of coffee, a Fika, have blossomed into our most fruitful professional relationships. We wouldn’t be the designers we are without those interactions.
We’ve often wished there was an easy way to find a cool musician or printmaker nearby and invite them to coffee. So we created it. If you, too, find yourself scrolling your various feeds asking yourself ‘How did they make that?’ or saying ‘Woah, I wish I could work with this person’ - we made Fika for you. We look forward to meeting.
You never know where a meeting might lead...coffee is just the spark.
There’s a laundry list of features we want to build to improve Fika. Currently it’s just us three bootstrapping this project to grow the community. If you like what we’re building, feel free to buy us a coffee (or 2 or 3). And feel free to reach out with any ideas or feedback, we’re all ears.
-Jamie, Will, and Sonika
