Yihong was an intern designer at Pupupula, Ximalaya, and China Everbright Bank.

Statement

Yihong Li's work is a confluence of cultural narratives. Born in Beijing and now immersed in New York's design ethos, I strive to interlace the East's time-honored traditions with the West's forward-thinking vibrancy. My designs resonate with a deep reverence for history, yet they reach out to grasp the innovative spirit of the modern era. Through industrial design, I aim to craft functional and poetic solutions, addressing the present while nodding to the past. Every creation is a dialogue, a bridge connecting diverse perspectives, hoping to foster understanding and unity.
