My name is Xinyue Li ~
I’m a Product Designer studying and living in Norway.

Hi~ I am a Product Designer specializing in AI and HCI. Creating interesting and meaningful experiences that are enjoyable for the user, taking into account the environment while bringing economic value has always been a goal of mine whenever I do design.
