Hi Shopify!
My name is Lilian Yi-Hsuan Lin.

Here's a letter for you.

For the past two years working at an agency, I've become a highly versatile product designer who leads end-to-end design cycles with a core focus on building mobile experience for e-commerce. I helped a top-tier sneaker retailer stay at the forefront, a gardening giant re-imagine its mobile experience across brands, and a home appliance corporate position its new service to its customers. Helping businesses of all stages drive visions and deliver values to their customers is my passion; and being a product designer at Shopify would be my dream come true!

I'm a firm believer in supporting local/small businesses not just for their unique products but their enlightening missions to the world. It makes me proud when I see my favorite brands (e.g., Just the Goods, Raakaa, and Kotn, all powered by Shopify) gaining traction and improving their offerings over time. I personally experienced how tough it was to run a business, let alone COVID, the fragility of the supply chain, and labor shortage. I'm deeply committed to Shopify's mission and would love to apply my design superpower and e-commerce expertise to make commerce a more diversified landscape.

I'm beyond thrilled to connect with your teammates and learn more about the problem space, the team, and how I can contribute. You can find my work sample here that encapsulates my skillsets and thinking process. I appreciate your time in advance, looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks & Regards,
Lilian

Fun fact - I ran a small shirt business in my early 20s. TL;DR - it was a total failure, and I learned tremendously through my first entrepreneurial effort.
