About
Lanting Ko is a product designer shaping how things are structured, function, and look.
She was born and raised in Taiwan and now lives in New York, surrounded by bagels and unpredictable subway performances.
Working with her is like brainstorming with someone who interrupts to ask "wait, who is this actually for?"
When she's not designing or doing research, you can find her watching movies, going to Broadway shows, or getting some vitamin D outdoors.
What I’m exploring lately…
Hands-on making
Crafting small physical pieces as a way to explore ideas beyond the screen. I began my career as an Engineering Project Specialist, working closely with physical products and observing how complex IoT systems come together. Later, I moved into digital product design. Now, I find this background shaping how I think about experiences across both physical and digital spaces.
