Chengxi (Hilary) Li
Originally from Nanjing, China, I began my academic journey studying Architectural History and Fine Art at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), where I developed a strong foundation in visual culture and spatial narratives. My growing interest in the built environment led me to pursue Architecture studies at UPenn, where I also explored cross-disciplinary design through a certificate in Integrated Product Design. With a deep curiosity for traditional and contemporary expressions, I have balanced my architectural studies with a lifelong passion for music, performing traditional Chinese music and fusion rock. My work is grounded in cultural dialogue and creative experimentation across fields.
