This is the personal online portfolio hand crafted by Li Li (Yes. That's a real name.) for all of his big and small projects from 2008 to 2010.
Although his portfolio spans a variety of mediums, Li still claims himself as a front-end web designer and developer and an amateur back-ender.
Li is constantly trying to improve and develop his skills and abilities. That is why he is now exploring the ways to combine art and technology and the interactions between human and machine in the Interactive Telecommunications Program in New York University.
Li is passionate about clean and effective designs. He is hoping that he can make himself a better person and help make the world a more beautiful place - one project at a time.
While Li is not glued to his keyboard designing or ridiculously writing in third person, he is probably out somewhere pretending to be a photographer and consuming a massive amount of coffee.
