Top SchoolEric Li is a design-minded engineer who blends product strategy, front-end engineering, and visual arts to craft thoughtful digital experiences across museums, startups, and academia. With 11 years of experience, he’s driven design-led technical work at MoMA, IDEO, and Google and founded the Digital Product team at the Eames Institute. He moves fluidly between rapid prototyping and production systems, having led product at Orchard Analytics and now working as a Design Engineer at Notion.
