About
Tony Lin
I'm a design engineer working at the intersection of UI/UX design and frontend engineering. I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction & Design at UC Irvine after earning my B.A. in Design at UC Davis. Across product design, frontend, and marketing roles, I've learned to carry an idea all the way from research and wireframes to accessible, production-ready React — with a consistent focus on lowering barriers for the people who use what I build.
