Hi, my name is EJ Ko. I’m curious about how people actually live, not just how things are supposed to work. I pay attention to small behaviors, habits, and the quiet frustrations people don’t always notice, and that’s usually where I find the most interesting problems.

My work starts from observation and turns into ideas that feel simple, but are carefully thought through. I like designing objects that fit naturally into everyday life, where the interaction feels obvious and effortless, but still meaningful.

I’m especially interested in products that sit in daily routines, where function, material, and experience come together. For me, good design is not about adding more, but about refining things until they feel right.
