Hi, I’m Yulin!

​

I’m a recent graduate of the Master of Science in Technology Innovation program at the University of Washington, building on my BFA in Product Design from Parsons School of Design. I am currently based in the Seattle area and seeking industrial or product design roles where I can bridge the gap between physical hardware and connected experiences.

​

I’ve always been a maker at heart. My journey into design started with a fascination for how things are built, leading me to develop deep hands-on skills in woodworking and fabrication. That tactile curiosity—whether I’m steam-bending wood for a chair or prototyping with CNC tools—naturally evolved into a career in Industrial Design. I love finding the intersection where craftsmanship meets modern technology to create products that feel both functional and human.

​

Within the field, I’m particularly interested in consumer electronics, furniture, lighting, and travel goods. My approach is defined by a blend of aesthetic sensitivity and technical rigor; I am passionate about integrating smart features into everyday objects without losing their soul—like exploring how lighting can adjust to our circadian rhythms or how luggage can be reimagined for better accessibility.

​

I’ve gained diverse experience ranging from agricultural technology to consumer electronics. My time as a Product Designer at Aigen allowed me to dive into field research and usability testing for robotics, while my experience with vivo sharpened my perspective on mass-market consumer tech and precise manufacturing. These roles have strengthened my ability to work across disciplines, from Rhino and KeyShot rendering to rapid prototyping.

​

Outside of the studio, I’m an avid Ultimate Frisbee player. I love the teamwork and energy of the game, and I bring that same collaborative spirit into my design work.
