Xiaoyin “Shell” Li believes the spaces around us can do more than serve a function. They can influence how we learn, regulate, connect, and experience the world.
A licensed architect, educator, multidisciplinary designer, and neurodivergent mom, Shell is dedicated to creating healthier, more inclusive environments that support different ways of experiencing and interacting with space.
Her commitment to neuroinclusive design became deeply personal while raising her son on the autism spectrum. That experience inspired her to explore how thoughtful design can better support learning, sensory regulation, comfort, and well-being.
Shell holds a B.A. in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley and a Master of Architecture from the University of Kentucky. Her experience also includes teaching and managing the Syracuse University NYC Architecture Program and serving as a guest architectural critic at Parsons School of Design and Pratt Institute.
Her message is simple: when we design with different human needs in mind, we can create spaces where more people feel comfortable, supported, and included.
