Founder's Note

When I began TUKU, the impulse was not to announce something new but to create a space where ideas could breathe.

Culture is saturated with speed - trends arrive, vanish, and return again before we've had time to notice what mattered.

But meaning doesn't operate on those terms. It arrives slowly, settles in, and only reveals itself over time.

Signals is an attempt to honor that slower rhythm. Less about making noise, more about listening; less about arriving fully formed, more about opening a conversation.

This first note is simply that: an opening.

An invitation to pause, and to notice what continues to resonate once the noise has faded.
