Available to hire
Hi! I’m Lucian Li, a passionate UX/UI designer and developer with a background in computer science and digital humanities. I love creating user-friendly and accessible digital experiences that empower people, especially those with limited tech experience. Through my academic studies and hands-on projects, I’ve gained strong skills in user research, interaction design, and frontend development.
Currently, I’m working on impactful projects like Project Lux CareLink, a nonprofit initiative promoting health equity, and Verdant, a sustainable shopping assistant. I’m always excited to collaborate with cross-functional teams and create meaningful designs that drive real change.
