Quan Li
Industrial designer
Originally from New York, attend my first industrial design class at the High School of Art & Design. Went on to study and graduated from Pratt Institute. Started working for a houseware company based in NY, here is where I learned to appreciate the entire product design, development, and production process. Loved working hands on with every project, following through concepts to final tooling and production. This has lead to me to working in Hong Kong designing and developing products and brands. And working from my own studio, Maqe, has allowed me to enjoy the ritual of making my own drip coffee everyday.

Get to know Quan Li
What inspires you (in design or in life)?
Being efficient.
Tell us about some previous design work that you are proud of?
Not really one project but more recently quite proud of the fact I have a few simple items, kitchen brushes, a squeegee plus a few others that are still selling in retailers after 10 plus years.
What is your design philosophy?
Keep everything minimal where possible, design, function and production wise. Add value without being intrusive.
