I am Yuanyuan(Lara) Lin

(They/Them)

As a designer, my passion lies in crafting solutions rooted in user-centered, innovative, and empathetic design.

My favorite parts of the design process are conducting primary research and engaging in prototyping. It feels like a natural calling to observe individuals grappling with life's obstacles, no matter how small, and to offer assistance as a designer. I also like to prototype something odd but interesting with my hands.
