Growing up in a family with architectural heritages, Curtis Li inherited the passion and decided to pursue architecture at an early age. Prior to opening his own studio, Li practiced in China  focusing on architectural & urban interventions. After graduating from the MArch program in University of Southern California, Li established his roots in Los Angeles with the opening of Curtis Su Associates that primarily engages in Hospitality Interior Design. He is also the partner and project manager for Whistler Construction that realizes and streamlines design  projects for the studio. Fluent in multidisciplinary and multicultural, Li’s position is pivotal to bridge the knowledge and conversation across construction, built, product design and digital fabrication; to link builders, fabricators and designers to share the same design pursuit. Following Li’s design principles, the studio’s professionalism and high-standard executions are widely appreciated among many clients across the SouthWest, including Westfield, Americana at Brand, Simon, Starwoods, and The Palazzo in Las Vegas.
