I’m Tyler 👋🏻 I’m a product designer, coder, and entrepreneur in Seattle.

I’m so glad you’re here. A little bit about me: I’m the founder of Kojo Design and The Open Dictionary Project, as well as the co-founder of Linguistic.

In my spare time I like to write music, hack on side projects, and brush up on my Chinese.

Here you’ll find my design work, writing, projects, and links to the other places I hang out around the web.
