I’m Yeon Ko, a motion designer & illustrator based in LA and South Korea.
The meaning of my name, "Yeon (延)," is connecting and linking.
I bring elements to life and connect with people through playful
and expressive movement.

With shape, color, and a touch of wit,
I create stories that carry
emotion and build meaningful bridges with audiences.
Guided by a desire to craft compelling visual narratives
and explore innovative design solutions,
I strive to connect creativity in more captivating ways.
