Elijah Pak

Who am I?

I'm Elijah, a product designer from the SF Bay area. Now based in Portland, Oregon

3+ years of multidisciplinary design experience coming from furniture and graphic design.

As a furniture designer, my style blends Scandinavian, Japandi, and minimalist influences, focusing on clean, simple, and functional designs. This approach extends to my digital work, where I create products that are both user-friendly and visually appealing. To enhance efficiency and stay at the forefront of design, I also incorporate AI tools to optimize my workflow.

I pivoted to Product Design because I love creating products that impact real people. Just as someone might use a coffee table I crafted, others interact with the apps or websites I design. The challenge of problem-solving and finding creative solutions is the cherry on top of the process.

UX Designer @ Freelance
I studied with Elijah during a bootcamp at Flatiron. Since Day 1, I was always impressed by his eye for design. He was always able to balance principles and beauty in a way that few others could. He consistently created beautiful concepts and could turn any assignment into a piece of art. Beyond his eye for design, he also was a wonderful teammate. Elijah was never afraid to reach out, give advice, ask for criticism, and take the extra step to improve his work.
