Hello!
I am Gina [she/her/hers] and am a product designer with strong visual design skills. I am currently working in the intersection between UX design and creatives to connect people and brands.
I strongly believe that people are at the heart of design. Through understanding business, users, and data insights, it helps me make a good design choice.
I am passionate about enriching people's daily well-being, and inspiring people to learn and grow.

Anatomy of My Name
I was born and raised in Taiwan. My last name, Lin (林), means forest. The character looks like two trees 🌲🌲. I love the meaning and enjoy being surrounded by trees and nature.
My English name, Gina, comes from my first name— Yin-Chun (盈君). “Chun” is pronounced 65% of "G" and 35% of “Chun” (Gi-un), and that’s why my name is Gina.
Creative & Healthy Baking
Baking takes me to an imaginative world. Outside of work, I also write about my baking notes, experiments, and creative ways on gina & the bread, my personal baking site.
Habits Formation
I keep practicing good habits in my sleeping, eating, and reading. To inspire more people, I led a 100-days "early bird" challenge with 20 Taiwanese through a tracking sticker Miro board and a private Facebook group.
