wāk (noun): As a child, I was fascinated by the steady and unwavering wake of boats. Even amidst turbulent waves, the wake remained resilient, confronting them with unwavering determination, confident that it would soon regain its composure. When searching for a name for my company, I desired a word that would evoke nostalgia for a simpler era while also embodying courage in the face of adversity. Thus, Wakke was born.
