Monica Lin
I’m a product designer (also a coder and strategist — a generalist) with a computer science degree. I design, I code, and I’ve PM’d when a project needed one. Hand me a messy problem and I’ll find the simple thing underneath it. Latest: people’s first steps in VR at Meta, and what Meta AI says when they ask for help.
Most recently, I was design lead on growth at Meta, rethinking onboarding & education for every new VR user. I prioritize ruthlessly to surface the value users need from all a product can do.
A generalist, I’m equal parts visual craft, storytelling, & code—building prototypes so ideas win on proof. Above all, I value those I work with and what they teach me.
A random thing about me: I entered Columbia for International Relations but left with a CS master’s in vision & robotics.
