On-demand design engineering that lives inside Notion. Receive unlimited designs in Figma, landing pages in Astro, and a custom design system catered to your codebase – all with a single subscription.
Hey there, Product Hunt friends!
I'm Tyler – the founder of Kojo.
I would argue that design engineering can be found at the heart of all great companies. The companies whose work we often envy – companies like Linear, Raycast, and Vercel – are out there setting trends not just because of their world-class design, but because absolutely nothing gets lost in translation. Their products are as joyful to use as they are visually stunning. They're committed to the craft.
However, for most of us, finding a designer who can code or an engineer who can design is… well, not easy. Yet, wouldn't we all like a website and product like Linear?
That's why I'm launching Kojo Design – a design engineering subscription that lives inside Notion. For a single monthly rate, you can receive unlimited product designs, design systems, and landing pages that will completely transform your startup – all inside Notion.
I'm sure you've seen a lot of these "unlimited" services lately, so let me give you a run down of what's different:
1. It's invite only.
While a lot of other services will waste your time with an intro call or overwhelm you with a crazy paywall on their site, Kojo is very transparent about its process: simply fill out a short questionnaire to provide some info about your company, which I'll use to assess your unique needs and visions. Within a day, I'll personally review it and determine how we can best collaborate. If it's a good fit, I'll send you a link to your private Notion workspace. If not? Well, I'll let you know regardless :)
2. It's developer-first.
Most design subscriptions stop just there – at design. If they do include building, it's usually in a no or low-code tool like Webflow or Framer, which locks you into the platform. Kojo is incredibly tech-forward, with each landing page written from scratch using a modern tech stack and a reusable design system unique to you.
3. It's high-performance and framework agnostic.
Landing pages are built using Astro, which ships almost no JavaScript by default and can work with any major component library. Whether your codebase is in React, Vue, Svelte, or Angular, Kojo can give you reusable components you can use everywhere – both on your marketing site, and in your product.
4. I'M your designer and your developer.
There's only one design service that has Tyler Nickerson, and that's Kojo. I've been building digital products for the past ten years and have designed and launched numerous projects online. I've worked professionally as both a product designer and senior front-end developer, as well as co-founded a startup. My experience gives me the unique ability to own everything end-to-end: the same guy designing your site is the same guy building it, and what you see is 100% what you get. If your developers have questions about the feasibility of a design – chances are I'll know the answer.
Wondering how to get started? It's super simple:
1. Go to https://kojo.design
2. Select a plan
3. Submit the survey!
Not sure if Kojo is right for you, but know someone who might benefit? You can earn up to $250 per successful referral. Just shoot an email to hey@kojo.design.
I'm super excited you're here and I honestly can't wait to work together. Let's get this bread, Product Hunt 🍞🚀

Can’t agree more, Tyler. Great emerging companies today are definitely design savvy! Kojo simplifies a lot of the outsourcing process and can potential make the design agencies obsolete. Congrats on the launch, and looking forward to trying it out!
Congrats on the launch, Tyler!
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 also 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!

Worked with Tyler before as his Technical PM and he knows his craft inside out. Very thoughtful and sharp in both engineering and design, so this next step was inevitable. Still huge to see him pull it together, and even more excited to see how it evolves. Huge congrats on the launch Tyler!
