AI accelerates how we work, but it can’t replace the judgment, taste, and intentional decisions that shape a great product.
Kurocado Studio is a boutique digital product studio based in Chicago. The studio focuses on designing and building modern websites, product interfaces, and scalable design systems.
The work centers around the infrastructure behind digital products — the systems that allow teams to build, maintain, and evolve software consistently over time. This includes design systems, schema-driven workflows, and developer platforms that support multiple products and teams.
Kurocado Studio is led by Carlos Santiago, a Product Design Engineer working at the intersection of design systems, frontend engineering, and product architecture.
Before founding Kurocado Studio, Carlos worked across product design and frontend engineering roles, developing a strong interest in the infrastructure that enables modern digital products.
