Communication Arts Award — Product Design

Winning in the Disruptive category is a meaningful milestone for me. It reflects where I believe my strengths lie: thinking differently, challenging assumptions, and designing experiences that can reshape behavior in thoughtful ways.

My First Design Award

My design journey started back in high school, over a decade ago. Since then, design has become more than a skill—it's been a way for me to build confidence, challenge my imposter syndrome, and trust my instincts. This first award is a meaningful milestone, and a reminder of why I fell in love with design in the first place.

This D&AD award reflects what I believe in: universal human rights, social justice, and the idea that design can be a force for empathy. For me, this work is about using design to help make the world a little kinder.

Would love to meet you!

Harry Lin 林夕卓

I was born in Sichuan, China, raised in Singapore, and now call Hell's Kitchen, New York home. I refer to myself as a local foreigner — shaped by many places, always observing, always learning, and still curious like a tourist. Living across cultures has given me a deep appreciation for different ideologies, social norms, and everyday struggles. I'm drawn to people's stories — especially the ones that challenge my own. That global lens fuels how I think, create, and connect, with the hope that my work can spark impact, even in small ways. A third-culture kid turned designer, I build with empathy, curiosity, and a touch of spice ( sichuanese style).
