I’m Rosalie Lin, a product design engineer with a focus in materials, textiles, and soft goods development. With over 5 years of experience, I specialize in novel materials and fabrication systems by integrating engineering principles and computational design to create solutions that enhance user experiences, sustainability, and social impact across applications such as wearables, consumer goods, automobile, and architecture. 

​

In my most recent work at Accenture Labs, I led a smart textiles R&D initiative, scaled smart materials proof of concept to production, and conducted meta-review analyses of interactive and low-power energy harvesting systems 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 a prototype shop, 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, computational design, material and fabrication systems, 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.
