Nice to meet you :)
-My name is Linghao Li

I am an enthusiastic graphic designer with a unique background, having transitioned from living in China to pursuing my second master's degree at Cornell University's Design and Environmental Analysis program. My experiences living in different countries and cities have set me apart from other applicants. Growing up in an area with many indigenous villages has given me a natural advantage in intercultural communication and a deep understanding of multiculturalism, fueling my desire to continuously learn and grow in my profession.
My academic journey began in 2013 when I participated in the Chinese National Digital Textbook Font Design Project, gaining practical experience in both business and academia. However, I found myself needing more knowledge and skills to effectively handle the design practice requirements I encountered, which led me to pursue further education in the United States. Although my studies were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic at the Savannah College of Art and Design, this period also led me to think more deeply about cultural identity and communication.
At Cornell, my current graduate work is focused on intercultural multilingual typesetting design, as I believe type is the most effective design language in intercultural communication.Under the mentorship of Professor Andrew Moisey, my approach to visual studies has been deeply influenced and refined. His expertise in photography and visual culture has been instrumental in guiding my exploration of how visual media shapes and reflects socio-political narratives, particularly in the context of East Asia. This mentorship has not only solidified my commitment to integrating graphic design with visual studies but has also deepened my understanding of the power of images in constructing cultural identities.
My current academic focus lies at the intersection of visual culture, design anthropology, and intercultural communication. I am particularly dedicated to investigating the history of photography and visual media in early 20th-century Northeast Asia, exploring how these mediums influenced cultural and political narratives during times of colonialism and modernization. Additionally, I am passionate about decolonized design, an approach that seeks to promote cultural equity and diversity by challenging dominant narratives and embracing marginalized voices.
With my unique background in design and a strong foundation in interdisciplinary research, I am confident in my ability to bring a fresh perspective to the field. My work aims to contribute to a more inclusive understanding of visual culture and design, fostering global conversations that recognize and celebrate cultural diversity. Through my designs, I aspire to make a meaningful impact on both academic discourse and real-world practices, ultimately advancing the role of design in shaping a more equitable future..
