Hi, I’m Elissa Li—a UX designer, front-end developer, and part-time plushie maker. My design style is rooted in systems thinking, user empathy, and good storytelling. I believe good design should not only be intuitive, but meaningful—something that helps people feel a little more seen, supported, and capable.

Hi, I’m Elissa Li—a UX designer, front-end developer, and part-time plushie maker. My design style is rooted in systems thinking, user empathy, and good storytelling. I believe good design should not only be intuitive, but meaningful—something that helps people feel a little more seen, supported, and capable.

I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, from redesigning nonprofit websites to building data-heavy tools that simplify complex internal processes. I’ve led real-world client collaborations, built out full design systems in Figma, and partnered with cross-functional teams to turn early-stage concepts into thoughtful, scalable solutions.

I love the creative problem-solving that comes with design, but I also love the tiny details: refining interactions, naming buttons, choosing the right microcopy. I try to bring both big-picture strategy and small-moment care into everything I make.

Outside of work, I crochet stuffed animals, bake desserts (especially strawberry ones), and tinker with side projects that make me happy—even if they never leave my drafts folder.

If you're curious about what else I’ve made (with yarn, frosting, or pixels), keep scrolling.
