Their journey began in established game companies such as Kuju Entertainment and Acclaim Entertainment, where they gained hands-on experience in professional game production. Through their earlier industry work, they contributed to projects connected with major global names including Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, Microsoft Game Studios, and Disney.

After years in the industry, Cherry and Kevin built Buko Studios from a small workspace with limited resources but a clear purpose: to create a Philippine-based studio capable of delivering high-quality creative production for games and digital content.

What started as a lean operation gradually grew into a creative studio supporting clients across game art, digital assets, animation, visual development, and production support. Along the way, Buko became a space for Filipino artists to develop their craft, contribute to professional projects, and take part in wider creative industries.

Today, Buko Studios continues to build on its game-development foundation while expanding into broader digital creative content, original IP, interactive media, and creative-technology services. The studio’s story is shaped by resilience, collaboration, and a long-standing commitment to quality creative work.
