Hugo Poge

My name is Hugo Poge. I came up with the idea for MYNKA a long time ago - but I didn't have the start-up capital or the experience to properly pursue this dream. Over the last ten years I've been lucky enough to work with some of the world's leading apparel brands like Onda, Nikita, k2, Onezeroone Wetsuits, GTboards, and many more. Through these experiences I've gained the knowledge I believe will make MYNKA a success and I am ready to make this dream a reality, but I can't do it without your help.
I've dedicated the last 10 years of my life to apparel graphic design/product developer and I have spent thousands of hours developing MYNKA. For the last year I have been researching trends, creating designs, building the website, marketing, and networking; now it is time to see which of these designs are going in to production. Your contribution will not only get you an awesome t-shirt, but it will also help fund the 1st line in 2015. Without your support and contribution, the production process will not be possible
Iceland has many riders in Skate, Snowboard and BMX I know that the riders dream is to wear an Icelandic brand.

Music is one of the strong sides of the Icelandic culture and we want to be a part of it.

MYNKA is more than a brand it’s a movement of young people who love sports and love to do better every day.

Im a Graphic designer and Product Developer for brands
