We had the good fortune of connecting with Patrick Li and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Patrick, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
My favorite quote is “Everything you can imagine is real” by Pablo Picasso. Growing up, I have always been told to fit in into the majority and have forced myself to limit my creativity. However, that is not who I am. I always had a dream of living in a world where I am my own creator and director, and have the power to build everything in my mind. Therefore, this quote has always been my motivation throughout my career to constantly remind myself who I am and to not be afraid to project my imaginations into reality.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a game concept artist who majors in architecture in school. I know, I am a greedy person who wants to learn the best skills in both worlds, but that makes me special. And there are surprises along the way which I discovered can be applied everywhere I go, which is something that distinguishs me from everybody else who doesn’t have access to those fields. I always tell myself to learn more, see more because learning new things are always exciting to me. This past year, I have travelled to 16 different countries and had fulfilled my vision with different culture, art, and architecture wherever I go.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I dedicate my shoutout to Hoi Lam Poon, my dear friend who had opened my mind about the possibility and true meaning of designing and developing new concepts. Without her, my eyes would not be as open as today and would be still stuck at the same place.
