    Expertise

    Jingyi Li is a human-computer interaction researcher who studies how technology is being used creatively and how we may build more equitable creative systems. Their research identifies and interrupts norms, power structures, and assumptions about creative processes in software systems. Working in domains of visual art and craft, Jingyi believes in the liberatory power of every day making and works to investigate how computation can augment these practices without displacing existing manual skills.
