Jaden Li

Industrial Design Student

I am a fourth-year Industrial Design student at Virginia Tech with a passion for product design, fabrication, and visual storytelling. As a maker, designer, artist, and tinkerer, I explore how objects can carry narrative, atmosphere, and function. My work moves between sketching, CAD, prototyping, illustration, and hands-on fabrication, often blending digital and physical processes. I’m especially interested in creating props, products, costumes, and immersive experiences that feel purposeful, tactile, and visually compelling.
