About – Hank Lin

Hey I am Hank, nice to meet you

I am a NY-based product designer. I enjoy orchestrating inspiring experiences & designing future-proof outcomes. Feel free to connect with me via Linkedin !

Takes

Good design involves more than one touchpoint

Orchestrating user experience across channels and touchpoints is my biggest strength. Learn about how I connected design teams at Cisco.

Outcomes over output for future-proof impact

As a product and tech-minded designer, I use inspirational insights to deliver customer-driven solutions for both the MVP and beyond.

UX v. business goals-why not both?

Whether it is enpowering Tesla reps to increase sales or IT admins to meet complex security needs with Cisco, I always make sure the users are happy.

Story

I am a senior at Cornell University majoring in Information Science with a UX Concentration. Originally a RISD, CMU and Cornell-trained graphic and interior designer, I discovered (my interest in) product design through this course.

Such an interest soon turned into a passion as I learned the joy of empowering users at Ethos Group, Tesla and Cisco · Duo. From researching at 3 Cornell labs, especially the Social Media Lab, I have also embraced a mission to designing technology for social impact (e.g., protecting youth through cybersecurity).

Extras

I enjoy practicing design in the entertainment industry. In 2022, I designed and prototyped a prop app used on-camera for Dissocia, an upcoming Sci-Fi thriller series featuring Tony Award-nominated actress Maria Dizzia.

Outside of design, I enjoy singing/songwriting, composing and portrait drawing. A proud member of DKA Phi, Cornell's professional cinematic society, I recently scored a short film by Kristen Hannah.
