About

Hi, I’m Karen, a product manager and designer based in the Silicon Valley. I’m interested in the intersection between design and engineering, and applying technology to different areas like healthcare, education, and entertainment.

Hi, I’m Karen! I love writing fiction, mostly science fiction and fantasy, under the name Karen Aria Lin or Karen A. Lin.

I’m also a technical writer at Google.

  • Storytelling through books, films, and games, especially with Asian American representation.

  • Learning about science and technology that affect everyday life.

Jobs I've enjoyed in the past:

Fun facts:

  • After years of trying out different sports, I’ve decided that rock climbing is my one true love.

  • I’m a musician and composer.

  • I have a Taiwanese Mountain Dog named Mia. She’s super shy but very sweet.
