Shortly after graduation, she launched her design career by partnering with Roll & Hill to produce ‘Stella’ – a series of Op Art-inspired mirror sconces. Li’s love for lighting design eventually grew into her eponymous lighting atelier, where she blends geometric forms with organic elements, blurring the lines between product and sculpture.
