About Michelle Li

Research Designer at Facebook Reality Labs

I'm a Research Designer who started out as a developer before finding my calling tackling wicked problems at the intersection of design and technology. My work usually sits in the ever-evolving sphere of emerging tech that includes future envisioning, computer vision, ambient intelligence, and AR/VR with a consideration for ethics and society.

I also deeply care about people and building design communities. I'd love to chat about DEI and work culture.

Outside of work you can find me biking, hiking, taking photographs with my analogue cameras, or adventuring on road trips.
