For the last 18 years OKIA has been servicing top companies in Estonia and numerous companies all over the world. Let’s talk about where we came from and where we are heading.

My name is Tiit. I have been with OKIA from the very beginning — grown and evolved side-by-side with the company. I started here as a Designer/Developer, moved to Project Management and ended up as the Managing Director when the company needed it. At the end of 2013 I decided to take some time for myself and experience the world outside OKIA, but as of the beginning of 2018 I’m back as the CEO.

The team I started out with all these years ago has long since moved on, but the high level of skill and professionalism has not disappeared, but rather increased and multiplied with every new addition to the team. Each individual has their own unique value and all their skills combined is the perfect recipe for outstanding performance.

From the financial point of view, OKIA has always been more like a lifestyle — Making profit had always been a goal that was seldom achieved and not necessarily strived for. In addition, management of the company has been sometimes systematic, and at times, chaotic. Due to these reasons, we have been ever-present in the sector, yet strategically weak.

OKIA has always been known as a company that would make you a “pretty homepage”. This is a historic connotation we’re working hard to step away from, as our specialties actually lie in delivering top-shelf UX/UI for any platform and device, not just limited to homepages.

We take pride in designing great services, experiences and platforms for not just our clients, but also any end-user that might be using the product. We are passionate about helping companies to simplify and automate their everyday tasks using tech and easy-to-use, intuitive interfaces. Making aforementioned “pretty homepages” should always be considered as something you get anyway along with our services.

Services we can help you with: Branding, Illustrations & Animations, Product Development (UX/UI/Analytics), Interaction Design, Service Design, Front-end Development, Testing, Q&A

At the moment OKIA is strategically stronger than ever — We have updated our brand; We have reviewed where we are heading and know exactly why and what we do. We know what our goals are, and how to fulfil them. Our people support our plans and are willing to take the next step forward.

Because of this, we know we can not only deliver results, but also exceed expectations.

If you are a product manager, entrepreneur or a startup founder with a problem that’s in need of solving through great user experience or tech, please let us know and we’ll schedule a meeting to get familiar — and perhaps start a long lasting partnership.

Psssst, we’re also hiring a project manager to join the team.

With ❤️ from OKIA
