Hi, I'm Lilli — a product designer in Boulder. I studied Environmental Product Design at CU Boulder (B.EnvD, 2026). I take a lot of my inspiration from the natural systems around me. There's no better blueprint than the world we live in. I don't want to add something to that world that isn't needed, so I spend a lot of time sitting back and looking for the gap between what already exists and what there's actually a need for. Designers have more control over the direction of things than most people realize. We decide what becomes a trend, and we decide what ends up in a landfill because it was badly made. I'd like to use that for the better.
