Hi, I'm Rosalie, a design/engineer researcher passionate about soft human-computer interaction built upon textiles, smart materials, and wearables. My aim is to blur the boundary between technology and people via programmable materials. I graduated from Harvard Graduate School of Design, MDes Technology, and work as a design researcher at MIT Media Lab, Tangible Media Group.
 

Moving from designer to engineer spectrum, I can’t stress more on my experience as a Product Design Engineer R&D at Advanced International Multitech where I developed woven carbon fiber chairs that are single-piece, multi-stiffness, modular and customized with parametric designs and industrial material characterizations. 

​

Previous experiences that led me to this field include work at Nike OEM in Vietnam and Morphing Matter Lab at CMU. At Nike OEM, I gained knowledge of soft material such as upper, sole, and mass production of the shoe. At Morphing Matter Lab, I started my research journey by developing a woven textile prosthesis for breast cancer survivors that is hand-moldable, reversible, and lightweight. ​

 

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, camping, and ballroom dancing, while droning and surfing are coming soon!
