A lil about me…
I'm Lina, a Toronto-based product designer who has 2 years of experience. I've worked in various environments as an intern and freelancer from startups to corporations, crafting solutions for both customer-facing and enterprise products.
What is design to me?
To me, design is about approaching every challenge with an open mind and free spirit. I see each problem as its own unique puzzle, so instead of always sticking to rules or a set process, I let my creativity (my brain) take over and lead me to interesting solutions!

My hobbies
Making takoyaki!
I like making takoyaki myself 'cause I can put whatever filling I want! Even though that isn't takoyaki…
Doing my nails :)
Fun fact: I was a nail tech pre-pandemic! Now, it's one of my fav hobbies and I sometimes do my friends' nails.
Walks with my dog ♥️
I spend way too much time in front of my laptop, and if it weren't for my dog, I may never leave my desk… (jk)
Going camping!
I've never tried winter camping (I'm not that extreme haha), but it's definitely my fav summer hobby!
Listening to J-pop & Synthpop
I DIG 80s/90s J-pop and Euro Synthpop! I'm looking for friends with similar tastes. Check out my playlist here!
Watching/reading anime & manga
I used to watch new anime a lot, but now, I like to watch 90s/00s 'cause I prefer the art a lot more. Do you like Slam Dunk, too?🥹
