Kurocado Studio is a web and product development agency based in Chicago.
We design digital products as a craft—intentional, detailed, and human.
About
Kurocado Studio is a web and product development studio based in Chicago, focused on creating modern, thoughtful digital experiences. Our work blends design, engineering, and product thinking into a unified craft.
Why the Name Kurocado?
The name comes from two places: Kuro — inspired by the founder’s service dog, representing loyalty, presence, and trust. Cado — a nod to the “developer avocado,” the symbol of developer advocates who educate, support, and champion other developers.
AI accelerates how we work, but it can’t replace the judgment, taste, and intentional decisions that shape a great product.

Daily UI SketchBook
A curated set of UI patterns built in React (and soon Vue) to stress-test SystemHaus — our upcoming design system — and validate the architecture, reusability, and accessibility patterns that will power it.
