My name is Lina and I'm a rising senior studying Information Science @ Cornell and pursuing product design. To truly understand people, I firmly believe in an empathy-driven approach.
Fun fact: I wanted to know what it's like to be homeless, so I spent two nights in the streets of Manhattan.
Why? To me, the role of product designers is to speak up for those without a voice in the technology process. To be the best advocate, I will take leaps to understand my users, including those that are underrepresented.
During my free time, I like hanging around with my cat named Bunny (learn about his story here and his progress here), exploring new restaurants, getting my daily protein intake in, and chatting up with strangers to ask about their funny stories/pivotal moments!
