ABOUT

Hey, I'm Linh Nguyen!

I design and build products with a human-centered approach, specializing in user experience, data visualization, and sustainability.

Currently, I am a Senior at MIT studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with a minor in Mechanical Engineering.

Whether it is through hardware, software, mechanical design, or anything in between, I approach all my work with the desire to create good for people.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time in the outdoors hiking and running, cooking up new dishes, and sharing life philosophies with others.
