Elinko
An inclusive device for colorblind designers, translating color into sound and touch for collaboration.

Introduction
Elinko was inspired by a classmate I once worked with. I was surprised to learn he was a colorblind designer—something I had never considered possible. Design is so often tied to vision that we forget: colorblind designers are not rare, and many quietly overcome barriers every day. Elinko was created to support them—an inclusive tool that challenges the dominance of visual perception and enables a more equitable design process. By translating color into sound and touch, Elinko turns color recognition into a collaborative, musical experience. Designers can connect devices, explore colors through shared touch, and generate melodies that express tone and feeling—building empathy, expanding perception, and making creativity more inclusive.
