I’m Rosalie Lin, a product design engineer specializing in wearables and soft goods. With a multidisciplinary background spanning industrial design, human-computer interaction, and mechanical engineering, I bridge R&D, design, engineering, and manufacturing to develop products that are both user-centered and technology-driven.

​

In my past 2+ year journey at Accenture Labs, I led smart textile R&D on re-moldable softgoods and wearables, scaled a climate tech PoC to pilot production, and conducted meta-review analyses of low-power energy harvesting systems in HCI.​​​ 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 computational design, human-computer interaction, and textile engineering and fabrication system. 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.
