Spreading the design goodness ✨
One of my favorite things about design is the community! I love contributing back to the community, especially helping new folks break into the industry.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: “How do you say your name?”
A: “Lin-WA Win” 🙋🏻♀️ Thanks for asking!
Q: “How many cups of coffee did you have before presenting?”
A: Zero. 😅 I just have a lot of energy because I’m an extrovert. I’m always down for a meet and greet!
Q: “How’d you get into UX?”
A: I awkwardly fell into it during freshman orientation when my school said they didn’t offer graphic or brand design, which was my previous specialty. Turns out I love the complexity of UX more! ✨
Q: “Wait...you actually have a podcast?!”
A: Yep, I hosted a podcast with my designer friend, Sumayah Abdulla, for two years: Design Bubble, your all inclusive bubble for everything design. 🎧
"why did you design the site this way?"
Since I didn't come from a UX background, I researched hiring managers and recruiters to make this site. Check out the synthesis on FigJam to learn about some of my design decisions.
