Andi Li

I’m a furniture, lighting, and objects designer based in Pasadena, specializing in product development, CAD modeling, and fabrication. I design pieces that combine material storytelling with clear, functional forms, and I have experience taking work from concept to prototyping to production.

I’ve exhibited internationally, worked with galleries and curators, and collaborate frequently with fabricators, foundries, and manufacturers. I’m fluent in Rhino, SolidWorks, Photoshop, KeyShot, and 3D printing workflows, and I enjoy helping clients develop clear, well-resolved designs for both digital and physical projects.

I also provide freelance support for product design, rendering, CAD modeling, and prototyping.

I am a furniture, lighting, and product designer with experience developing work from concept through prototyping and small-batch production. I run an independent studio where I design and fabricate pieces using materials such as cast metal, wood, and 3D-printed components. My work involves coordinating directly with manufacturers, foundries, and material suppliers, managing timelines, samples, and production details.

Previously, I worked on sponsored projects with industry partners and contributed to ergonomic furniture concepts, full-scale prototypes, and material research. I also have experience in consumer product design, including CAD development, CMF exploration, and quality-control testing for market-ready products. My background combines hands-on fabrication with strong digital skills in Rhino, SolidWorks, Photoshop, and rendering, supporting both design development and client communication.

I hold a Master of Science in Furniture, Lighting, and Fixture Design from ArtCenter College of Design, where I focused on material exploration, prototyping, and CAD development. My coursework included full-scale fabrication, design research, and industry-sponsored projects. I also earned a Bachelor of Science in Product Design, which provided a strong foundation in technical drawing, CMF, and 3D modeling.
