Morong Li is an industrial designer and educator whose work bridges digital technologies and physical making. He currently serves as a Digital Design and Fabrication Technician at James Madison University, where he supports interdisciplinary design education through digital fabrication, prototyping, and workshop instruction.

    Li received a Master of Industrial Design from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2024, where he also earned a Certificate in Collegiate Teaching in Art and Design. With a multidisciplinary background spanning industrial design, computer art, and fabrication, his practice explores how computational tools and hands-on craftsmanship inform one another in the design process.
