Niki Li is a Chinese designer, artist, and musician who works primarily in graphic arts.  

 

Working passionately as a multimedia designer in New York City, Niki holds an MFA degree from The School of The Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. Her dedication to art, music, and fashion has transformed into endless inspiration for her graphic design works. 

 

As an artist, Niki employs graphic arts as her vehicle to initiate open dialogues on cultural appropriation, consumerism, and capitalism within the context of globalization. Her work sparks conversations and provokes contemplation on often overlooked contemporary social issues and ideologies that pervade daily life.

 

Upon receiving her BFA degree in fashion design, Li won several international design awards such as the landing of Finalist of 2014 World of Wearable Art held in New Zealand. She also worked as a fashion designer for multinational fashion corporations such as Uniqlo and C&A.

 

Being a singer/songwriter in her spare time, Niki plays the violin and guitar, and composes her own music. With her original songs, she became a finalist in the nationwide Chinese music talent show “Super Girls” (Chinese edition of “American Idol”) in 2011. Niki is experienced in performing at different venues and events. 

 

Niki believes that the boundaries between different art forms can dissolve, fostering a more powerful interdisciplinary expression. She is constantly working on combining art, design, and music in her unique way.
