Role in the Community

  • Pianist — profiled as a Taiwanese American classical pianist in the community record 10; own TAH Who’s Who profile at 10.
  • Artwork credit (unconfirmed same person) — credited as “Artwork by Kelly Lin” on the band-A memoir The Tofu Not Eaten (Kristina Lin, 2013). HOLD: that credit carries no 漢名, so identity with 林雨潔 is not established.
  • Name collision — likely different person, HOLD — the “Kelly Lin” who illustrated Peter Lin’s New Age, Old Ways sleeve (New Age, Old Ways) is named by Peter Lin as “a fantastic Taiwanese American artist living in Chicago” who works full time as an industrial designer and freelances at his commission (shop: sketchbites on Etsy). HOLD: biography conflicts (Chicago industrial designer vs this page’s Rutgers piano-performance doctorate) and no 漢名 attaches to the illustrator — treated as a name collision, not merged.
  • 2019 year-in-review credit (collision-consistent) — the 2019 roundup Taiwanese America in 2019 credits Peter Lin’s New Age, Old Ways as “an eight-track album with original compositions and comic book illustrated by Kelly Lin” — again with no 漢名 attached, consistent with the name-collision HOLD above; not merged.
  • Not this person — the “Kelly Lin/林亞暄” thanked in A Taiwanese American Look at the Sunflower Movement is a different 林姓 individual.

Deepen-x 10090800-11 (2026-10-10): fresh ZH+EN grep across all five corpus dirs — same hit set, but the new-age-old-ways interview text (Peter Lin naming the Chicago industrial-designer Kelly Lin directly) now supports the name-collision HOLD explicitly; absorbed as a resolved-collision note with the biography conflict flagged, no merge.
