Hi, I'm Sunny ☀️

I design clear, trustworthy experiences for developers building with AI.

I’m a product designer with a knack for technical spaces. I design to tell stories and bridge perspectives.

Currently @ MongoDB.
Previously @ Brown University.

I’m a product designer who makes complex systems human.

For the past three years, I’ve been designing search and AI experiences that make powerful technology feel approachable and reliable. My projects range from simplifying vector search setup to building in-product AI assistance that helps developers understand their query results.

I care deeply about design that drives real outcomes. I created workflows that improved activation and adoption, and defined design patterns that scaled across multiple teams.

Beyond product work, I build spaces for learning and influence. I host weekly AI learning sessions to help our design team stay ahead of emerging trends. I also speak at events on how storytelling can influence strategy and decision-making, and mentor women in tech who are finding their voice in technical spaces.

I’m motivated by one question: how can design help people trust what they’re building?

Hi, nice to e-meet you!

I’m currently a Junior at Brown University studying Computer Science and Behavioral Decision Sciences with a joint focus on Human Computer Interaction. 

As a designer, I’m relentlessly user-centric—I always take the extra mile to advocate for user’s needs. Growing up, I didn’t have much access to technology until I moved to Canada at the age of 14. As a first generation immigrant who had to overcome language, cultural and technical barriers, I personally relate to those who struggle with technology usage. I understand usability issues from their perspective. This background pushes me to design products that are more inclusive and accessible.

In addition, I strive to design for an impact. For the past two years, I created the end-to-end UI/UX of two startups—leading design sprints, rapid-prototyping, and launching products in a fast-paced setting. I’m accustomed to making calculated design decisions leveraging both data and behavioral insights, building upon iterations with an open-mind, and collaborating with engineers to bring impact to the world. 

Recently, I've been hatching impactful innovations , building prototypes for visual computing research, empowering women pursuing CS, and designing an inclusive website for minorities in Data Science.

Hi there, nice to e-meet you again!

I’m Sunny Li, currently studying Computer Science and Behavioral Decision Sciences at Brown University with a joint focus on Human Computer Interaction.

I practice equity-centered design. To me, being a designer means asking the right questions, developing thoughtful processes, implementing an idea collaboratively— and above all else, advocating for real people, especially for those whose voices are less heard.
