Senior student @ Brown University.
Interned @ MongoDB.

Hi! I’m a senior at Brown University studying Computer Science and Behavioral Decision Sciences with a joint focus on Design and Human-Computer Interaction. 

As a designer, I’m relentlessly user-centric—I take the extra mile to advocate for users’ needs. As a first-generation immigrant who had to overcome language, cultural and technical barriers, I relate to those who struggle with using apps and interfaces. This background pushes me to design products with intentionality and accessibility in mind.

Last summer, I interned at MongoDB's Education team, leading the full design process for two projects. Previously, I worked closely with startups—leading design sprints, rapid prototyping, and launching products in a fast-paced setting. I made design decisions leveraging both data and behavioral insights, built upon iterations with an open mind, and collaborated with engineers to bring impact to the world. 

Recently, I've been working on hatching impactful innovations , building prototypes for visual computing research, mentoring women in tech, and designing the TEDxBrownU website to empower ideas worth spreading.

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.

Recently, you can find me hatching impactful innovations , building prototypes for visual computing research, empowering women pursuing CS, and designing an inclusive website for minorities in Data Science.
