Jay Li is a Los Angeles-based designer and homecook, by way of Atlanta, Georgia. He adores how kitchens and dining tables liken themselves to school hallways: places to stop and gather beyond conventional walls where people can learn, or ‘study,’ with each other.
He received a BFA in Graphic Design and BS in Advertising from Boston University, and currently works as a designer for Fly By Jing—a premium Chinese sauce brand. Prior, Jay was with the Utah Jazz, an NBA team in Salt Lake City.
