Tukoda is an Experience Design & Build studio. We design and build sessions, trainings, and programs for organizations.
We take ideas and give them shape. Structure. Flow. Timing. Tools that make sense in real time.
The work is hands-on and built for delivery. Everything is designed to support the people doing the work, so they can stay present, connect with their audience, and focus on what matters, not the mechanics.
Clear purpose. Strong flow. Materials that hold the room.
So gatherings don’t just happen. They land, move and work.
What Does Tukoda Mean?
Tukoda (pronounced /too-ko-dah/) is a Gbagyi word, gifted by our founder’s father. Her family has been the King Makers for generations, trusted not to hold power, but to shape it with wisdom and care.
In the tradition, Tukoda means leader. Not as a title, but as a way of being. It reflects the kind of leadership rooted in good judgment, lived experience, and responsibility to others. Leadership that listens. That holds. That moves with purpose.
It’s more than a name. It’s the standard we bring into every room we enter.

Many sessions run smoothly but fall flat.
They’re organized, polished, and on time, yet they don’t create connection or move the work forward.
Tukoda exists to close that gap. It exists to help people Gather with Purpose.
Founded by Yemilo Audu, Tukoda designs and builds the structure behind sessions, trainings, and programs so they work in practice, not just on paper. The focus is on flow, timing, engagement, accessibility, and delivery tools that support the people running the session.
Yemilo brings systems thinking, accessibility expertise, and a background in sociology and psychology to this work. That combination allows her to identify gaps quickly and design experiences grounded in how people actually move, listen, and engage.
The result is clear, operational experiences that reduce friction for facilitators and help teams deliver with confidence.
