About

Xintong Lin (Freya) is a product creator with warmth and sensitivity. With a triple background in science, liberal arts, and design, she applies technology with love and care—driven by real-world challenges, inspired by bold ideas, and gently crafting value. Red for passion, Green for empathy, Blue for composure, she dedicates herself to creating products that make life better for this era. To her, design should be like sunlight—melting the permafrost in hearts that have never truly been seen.

VitaFriends is an AI-powered companion that helps young adults build sustainable healthy eating habits for longevity. It pairs cute organ-shaped table companions — Brainie (brain), Heartie (heart), and Livie (liver), which change color and emotion via a smart app. Using AI image recognition, the app analyzes your meals, tracks nutrition, offers daily check-ins, suggests fridge-based recipes, generates grocery lists based on nutrition gaps, and provides preventive chronic disease challenge rankings. Based on nutrition and habit science, it provides instant visualization and guidance, turning distant, unseen health consequences into visible, immediate emotional feedback.
