WRITING
Oh, hi there. I'm Ling. It's nice to see you here. I am a product designer with an award-winning background in architectural design. On the side, I find joy in getting my hands dirty designing and fabricating furniture from scratch. I also sketch, paint and write regularly. My passion lies in using design as a tool to push humanity forward and to bring equality to all.
I think of any design as a cohesive whole, from the user to the medium itself in its environment. 7 years ago, I came to America as a traveler, ended up changing my career and my life. I am currently working at Carta as a Senior Product Designer, helping revolutionalize the way we think about private equity. Prior to this, I was a Design Lead at Verizon Media.
I have mentored students, designers and founders at DesignLab, CascadeSF, Designers Guild, BUILDUP.vc and Tradecraft etc.
Outside of design, I am a competitive powerlifter, furniture maker, writer, and speaker. I live relentlessly in San Francisco with my dog, Cyrus. We would love it if you say hi! You can do so via Twitter, LinkedIn, Medium, Instagram or good ol' email.
