Susan Lin

Designer & Artist. I'm the Founder of Mintlodica, the cult cute mechanical keyboards brand. I also work at Crunchyroll as a Staff Product Designer. Before that, I built design systems and directed design teams.

As for origin stories — My love for the web began with Xanga & Neopets. I went on to study HCI at CMU, where I also made indie games. Those experiences led me to my first internship at NASA.
