Maya LinTaking Q3/Q4 Design ProjectsCrafting digital products that feel like magic.
I partner with ambitious founders and product teams to craft world-class UI/UX, design systems, and interactive Web experiences.
Where strategic product thinking meets expressive visual craft.
I believe great design is not just how something looks, but how effortlessly it empowers people to achieve their goals.
Over the past 8 years, I have spearheaded design for venture-backed startups and design studios, crafting design systems used by over 500+ engineers and reaching tens of millions of active users globaly.
“Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
