Who We Are
We are designers, thinkers, engineers, artists, and curious minds.
We started with one simple belief: Understanding matters more than information. Connection changes more people than teaching.
We asked: What if technology didn't cripple our humanity, but amplified it? What if the most powerful application of AI wasn't automation, but augmentation of human connection?
That’s why we are building PHNK (Spoken as Funk).
