Hi, I’m Zoe Li, a multidisciplinary designer and artist blending painting, graphic design, and interactive media. I’m pursuing a Master of Science in Integrated Design and Media at NYU, with hands-on experience as a Graduate Research Assistant, a design intern in Shanghai and Brooklyn, and freelance visual artist across China and the United States. I enjoy combining traditional art practices with AI, AR, and web-based interactivity to create engaging learning experiences and compelling visual narratives. My practice spans concept development, typography, character design, and interactive media. I love building accessible resources and collaborative projects, from organizing Risograph print workflows and design libraries to contributing to exhibitions and immersive installations. I’m excited to keep exploring how art, technology, and education can intersect to empower communities.
