Andi Li

I am a furniture, lighting, and product designer with experience developing work from concept through prototyping and small-batch production. I run an independent studio where I design and fabricate pieces using materials such as cast metal, wood, and 3D-printed components. My work involves coordinating directly with manufacturers, foundries, and material suppliers, managing timelines, samples, and production details.

Previously, I worked on sponsored projects with industry partners and contributed to ergonomic furniture concepts, full-scale prototypes, and material research. I also have experience in consumer product design, including CAD development, CMF exploration, and quality-control testing for market-ready products. My background combines hands-on fabrication with strong digital skills in Rhino, SolidWorks, Photoshop, and rendering, supporting both design development and client communication.

I hold a Master of Science in Furniture, Lighting, and Fixture Design from ArtCenter College of Design, where I focused on material exploration, prototyping, and CAD development. My coursework included full-scale fabrication, design research, and industry-sponsored projects. I also earned a Bachelor of Science in Product Design, which provided a strong foundation in technical drawing, CMF, and 3D modeling.
