Hi there 👋
I'm Ayaka Kojima, a freelance Front-End Developer & UI Designer with 9+ years of experience.
No more juggling between a designer and a developer. From brand identity and logo design, to UI, to fully coded front-end. One person, one process, no gaps 🌟
If you're launching something new, I can own the whole thing from day one. If you're a small team looking for ongoing support, I understand both design and development, so I pick up context fast, keep communication light.
Do you have a question or idea?
No idea is too early. I'm happy to think it through with you from wherever you are.
Feel free to text me "Hi" 💬

Through more than 5 years of experience working with coaches, consultants and premium business offers, I’ve honed a process that delivers real, measurable revenue & profit.
I build systems that look industry leading, but convert better than them. Funnels that convert cold traffic into paying customers. Webinar flows that increase showup rates and close rates. CRM automations that nurture leads, recover opportunities, and automate your business.
I'm new to Upwork, so this $ rate is temporary to build my profile and gather kick-ass case studies, if you want to take a 'chance' on me, you won't regret it. I've scaled dozens of offers and know how to improve weak conversion points, and build systems that actually scale.
My edge is understanding both sides of the offer; front-end design & persuasion and back-end operations. This means I leverage buyer psychology in all messaging, across ads & offer and install data backed iterations into the ads, CRO and sequences.
I’ve honed my craft with tools like GoHighLevel, ClickFunnels, Meta Ads, AI systems, webinar platforms to continue to deliver lean systems that produce impactful results..
I continue to keep my rates fair because I believe the best long-term strategy is simple: overdeliver, create real ROI, and become best service in the market
If you need someone to break you through a ceiling, launch a killer webinar, improve lead quality, or create a revenue engine around your offer, I’d be happy to build you into an industry leader.
