CKIE

what?

Empowering you to pioneer innovation. That’s our mission.

While the process of innovation might begin with designers, we believe that consumers who take an active interest in supporting creativity play an equally important role.

Because it doesn’t matter how groundbreaking an idea might be — if it remains in the dark, it could stay an idea forever. Through CKIE, consumers can see to it that creativity and innovation live on. And, at the same time, designers can find a way to breathe new life into projects they truly care about.  CKIE gives those ideas the exposure they need to share their story and make an emotional connection.

CKIE was founded in 2010 by the creators of Yanko Design, the Internet’s largest industrial design blog. Keeping in mind the website’s mission to reconcile all of the important elements of innovation, it was named after the formula for creativity, C=f(K,I,E), which holds that creativity is function of knowledge (K), imagination (I), and evaluation (E).
