About Me

Hey, I’m Linna! I’m a designer with experience in product, motion, and brand design, and I just graduated from Yale University where I studied art.

Previously, I designed and animated new rental experiences as a Kleiner Perkins Design Fellow at Zumper where I was able to incorporate motion + animation into the app redesign to make the user experience more interactive. I also worked on music-related features for the Alexa Auto team at Amazon. Before that, I was at Airfoil, a tactical design and growth studio focused on helping new ventures reach hypergrowth. I also got the chance to be the first design hire at Motion (YC W20), where I designed tools that reimagine the way we surf the web.

Feel free to check out some of my work above / on instagram or reach out and say hi, I would love to hear from you :)
