Hello.

A Product Designer blending empathy, data, and creativity to craft meaningful digital experiences.

I’m Jinlan Li, a product and UI/UX designer based in Rochester, New York. I'm a curious creative who enjoys drawing, experimenting, and making things by hand. I like exploring ideas through visuals and finding ways to turn simple concepts into something playful and engaging.

At the same time, I value thoughtful design—work that feels clear, intentional, and easy to connect with. Throughout my work, I hope to continue growing as a designer while creating visuals and experiences that feel intuitive, enjoyable, and meaningful to the people who use them.

When I'm not designing, you can find me doing...
