I’m Rosalie Lin, a product design engineer with a focus on materials and textiles innovation that applies in softgoods and wearables. My background blends industrial design, computational design, and mechanical engineering to develop innovative, sustainable solutions across consumer goods, healthcare, to automotive. 

​

In my most recent work at Accenture Labs, I led a smart textiles R&D initiative, scaled a climate tech prototype to pilot production, and conducted meta-review analyses of interactive and low-power energy harvesting systems in HCI, all aiming to better contribute to a sustainable future.​​​ Prior to Accenture, I was a design researcher at the MIT Media Lab's Tangible Media Group, developing textile integration systems and applications for fiber-based actuators. My previous industry experience includes work at Advanced International Multitech, a carbon fiber-focused company, and Nike OEM in Vietnam. At Advanced International Multitech, I worked as a product design engineer, developing computational design algorithms for multi-stiffness woven furniture, selecting materials through structural characterizations, and applying finite element analysis to predict structural failure. At Nike OEM, I gained hands-on experience in soft goods materials and assembly by collaborating with prototype shops, manufacturing operators, and cross-functional, multicultural teams.

​

I hold an MDes in Technology from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where I focused on textiles, material and fabrication systems, computational design, and human-computer interaction. I earned my B.S. in Industrial Design with a concentration in user-centric and physical product design at National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan. My work has been internationally recognized with awards such as iF, Red Dot, A’ Design, and Core77 Design Awards across diverse projects.
