Susan Lin

Designer & Artist. I'm the Founder of Mintlodica, cult cute mechanical keyboards. (CLOSING SHOP) Consider taking over: Buy Mintlodica, the brand.

I also work at Crunchyroll as a Principal Product Designer. (Being an IC is pretty great.)

These days, I try to be more offline. I break glass and dive underwater for fun. Check out my Stained Glass Art at Giant Robot.

My Art

I've always found ways to weave my art with tech. In the past, this included sketchnoting live at conferences, watercolor decks, and a Retro51 pen collab. My art has been featured nationwide.

My Past

As for origin stories — My love for the web began with Xanga & Neopets. I went on to study HCI at CMU, where I also made indie games. Those experiences led me to my first internship at NASA.
