Hi there👋, I am Qingyi Li, an experience and interaction designer.

I design ethical, human-centered products and experiences that create a sense of togetherness in this diverse yet polarized world. I am an open-minded listener👂, an occasional dreamer 💭, and an improving dancer 👯.

I have received my BFA in Industrial Design from the Rhode Island School of Design. I am currently pursuing my MFA in Design and Technology at Parsons. I also was a former intern at Tencent, Oneplus, MKG and Kohler.

I love sunshine, detective novels, and watermelon. I also identify myself as a maker. I love to make fun interactive objects using all kinds of materials, such as paper, wood, plastic, metal, glass, and even found materials. I sometimes draw and illustrate for fun in my free time. < check out my ART section >
