We strategically craft digital experiences for founders who refuse to blend in, and combine the hospitality of a freelancer with the precision of highly-staffed agency.

“Kyler is absolutely incredible! I came to her with some VERY rough ideas for a portfolio website. I had a color palette and a dream, but I was having a hard time visualizing how to apply my ideas while still highlighting my artwork.

Kyler saw my vision and executed it with perfection. With the bit of inspiration I gave her, she built an entire site that showcased me, custom coded exquisite animations, and made sure it looked unique while maintaining my design references. 10/10 no notes!”

Founder; Lead Designer

Kyler is a Los Angeles-based creative director with a decade of experience crafting content for companies including AWS, Stripe, and Postscript. She founded Knight Theory™ to bring that caliber of strategic thinking to founders and scaling brands who deserve it without the agency overhead or the six-month timeline.

Every project is personally directed by Kyler from brief to launch.

the collective

Knight Theory™ projects are backed by a hand-selected network of specialist creatives (brand strategists, copywriters, developers, and motion designers) brought in when the scope calls for it. You have the needs, and we bring the manpower.

Our Values

We operate under one motto: expertise creates quality. Good design is spawned from dedication and a trained creative eye, and we pride ourselves on always nurturing both.

Knight Theory™ is proudly woman and black-owned. We’re here to build brands that honor where you’ve been and support where you're headed. Everyone is welcome.

We believe people buy emotion before logic. Your brand should make people feel something, not just look pretty.

Long timelines can often snuff out creative momentum. We often operate in a sprint model to deliver premium, strategic design faster.
