Build from zero
Turn ambiguity into something concrete enough to use, evaluate and improve.
I’m Peter Li. I use product taste to choose what matters, AI leverage to build faster, and evidence to decide what scales—and what should stop.
I connect the first useful version with the systems, signals and people that make it work in the real world.
Turn ambiguity into something concrete enough to use, evaluate and improve.
Build the workflow, measurement and operating rhythm that let a team repeat what works.
Align customers, teams and partners across functions, languages and markets.
Products, systems and decisions that show how I operate when the answer is not yet obvious.

A local-first spatial canvas for capturing text, links, images and files before deciding how they should be organized. AI can help reveal relationships; the files remain yours.
Visit the live product ↗I designed the journey from photo upload and AI reconstruction through production and cross-border delivery. The beta exposed a roughly 14-day fulfillment cycle, 2–3 days of human refinement and a 30% sample defect rate. With the required price above validated willingness to pay, I shut the product down.
I move from a first version to useful signals, then make the call: scale, revise or stop.
Turn a hypothesis into the smallest testable version of a product, workflow or experience.
Use customer behavior, quality signals, funnels and economics—not wishful thinking.
Scale what works, change course early and stop when the evidence says the model is wrong.
I want my work to make everyday life a little better.
That is the filter I keep returning to. I’m drawn to products, systems and everyday objects that make life clearer, easier or more considered.
My background spans venture building, product design, growth experiments, automation and cross-border operations. Across them, the pattern is consistent: make ambiguity tangible, learn from real use and improve what matters.
I’m based in Chicago and open to work where product judgment, hands-on execution and business thinking need to come together.
The things I return to outside work are not separate from how I build. Furniture teaches me about use and proportion; photography trains attention; tennis rewards rhythm and adjustment; coffee and matcha turn small variables into a daily craft.
