About Melinda

I’m a Product Designer shipping cross-platform experiences in video streaming, health, and display for home décor—with a passion for zero-to-one initiatives, rapid prototyping, and user research.

AT WORK

I thrive at the intersection of systems thinking and collaborative execution. I find the most fulfillment in shaping early-stage ideas into experiences that bring clarity, delight, and meaningful impact to people’s everyday lives.

HOW I STARTED DESIGN

My path to design began with a multimedia degree, where I explored video storytelling, HCI, user research, marketing, and journalism. Across these disciplines, I found a common thread: the power to understand people deeply, tell stories that resonate, and design with purpose. That multidisciplinary lens continues to guide how I approach each new design challenge.

IN LIFE

After years immersed in the vibrant urban life of Taiwan and New York City, I’ve found a new rhythm in the SF Bay Area. These days, I recharge in the ocean—surfing, soaking up the sun, and running with my young, fuzzy rescue dog from Korea.
