My name is Fangming Li. I’m a product designer living in Beijing, currently working at Elven. I have more than twenty years of experience designing digital products.

Clear thinking, carefully made.

I care about making complex ideas feel simple without stripping away what makes them meaningful. My work moves between product structure, interaction, and the details that give an interface its character.

    Huoban

    Design Director

    Huoban was one of China’s early low-code platforms, using visual tables to help teams build software systems for complex business needs. To make the product’s underlying logic easier to understand, I designed a more human-centered interaction system that brought clarity to its complexity.
