Loved by founders committed to building game-changing companies
Working with Tyler has been an absolute delight. I’ve had him create designs for multiple web and mobile applications, and the results have been consistently spectacular. Not only is he a fantastic designer, but his background in software engineering allows him to create deliverables that are very practical to implement in your project.

Tyler brings a rare combo of detail-oriented design chips and detail oriented development skills, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. He made it fun to take precious founder time for design!

Working with Kojo was a wonderful experience and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. They’re responsive, flexible, sharp, and easy to work with. We had some specific needs around animations and responsiveness, and they delivered a seamless product that we’re proud to show our customers.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Tyler on a mobile app project where he took the lead on design. His unique blend of software engineering knowledge and self-taught design skills made the development process exceptionally smooth. Tyler’s designs are not only visually striking but also highly functional, reflecting his deep understanding of user experience. His dedication and intelligence set him apart, making him one of the most talented designers I’ve had the opportunity to work with.

Tyler helped us design and build the landing page for walletkit.com. It’s incredibly rare to find someone who has amazing design skills and then complements them with front-end engineering, including animations, visual effects, and overall high-quality production.
Tyler also assisted us in branding, creating our logo, and building our typography design system to ensure a consistent brand identity. He’s super quick, which means you’re bound to get a lot for the price, making him a perfect fit for startups.
I’m already recommending Tyler to friends and will definitely continue to work with him in the future!

Questions? We have answers.
Kōjō (向上) is a Japanese term that means to improve, often used in the phrase 向上心 (the desire to improve oneself). As Kojo is built to help companies improve themselves, we found the name extremely fitting.
Every project is different, so it’s rather hard to say. We aim to provide deliverables every 24-48 hours, though if a request is taking longer than expected, we’ll always keep you informed. On average, we design and ship websites within a month (2 weeks for design, 2 weeks for development), however, this can vary depending on site complexity.
We offer a free trial so we can gauge fit with each of our clients, during which point either party can walk away if they are not happy with their early deliverables (though this has never happened). As a result, we don’t offer refunds. We will, however, continue to revise your deliverables until you are 100% satisfied.
Hi! 👋 Tyler Nickerson here – I run Kojo entirely solo. I’m a founder and design engineer based in Seattle, WA. I’ve been programming since high school and designing since I was little and have since launched a sea of online products such as CityHop and The Open Dictionary. I hold a degree in Computer Science and was previously the CTO and design lead of my own startup. I love working with other founders and creatives, so needless to say – I’m super excited to work with you.
Hiring is a ton of work. Not only do you have to sift through a ton of applicants, you need to carve out time to interview, background check, and offer a competitive package that can set you back $100k–$300k if you include benefits, vacations, and more. Plus, you’d probably need to hire more than just one role if you want both a talented designer and engineer. You’ll also be responsible for paying your employee no matter what – with Kojo, you can pause or resume your subscription at any time.
