Peiyan Li is a sustainability design promoter from Guangzhou, China. Her work is mainly based on the development and application of natural and waste materials, in order to promote sustainability and environmental protection. Through the analysis of the relationship between materials, humans, and the environment in design, she aims to trigger people's thinking about the values of the materials around them and the environment they are in.
She also focuses on the inheritance of human culture, thinking about the collision and integration of tradition and innovation. She still believes that traditional crafts are worth studying and developing, and can prompt people to temporarily stop and think about life when they are facing this rapidly changing world.
