After obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Information Science, he pursued his research in design under the guidance of Prof. Yoshimaru Takahashi, In 2024, obtained a Doctorate in Fine Arts. That same year, joined TOMBO Inc., a design firm based in Osaka.

His experimental results have garnered numerous awards both domestically and internationally. A member of prestigious organizations such as the World Design Consortium (WDC), International Association of Designers (IAD), International Design Club (IDC), and Alliance of International Business Associations (AIBA), Alex actively engages in these communities, contributing to their missions and initiatives.
李秋禹（英語名: Alex Li）は、2013年に来日しました。情報学学士号を取得した後、大学院で高橋善丸（教授）の指導のもと、デザインの研究を行い、2024年、芸術学博士号を取得し、同年、大阪のデザイン事務所TOMBOに入社しました。彼は20世紀の構成主義のデザインに深い興味を抱き、東アジアの美意識を活かしながら、従来の構成主義を刷新し、新たな可能性を追求することを目指しています。その実験的なアプローチは、国内外で多くの受賞歴を誇ります。また、彼はWDC（ワールドデザインコンソーシアム）、IAD（国際デザイナー協会）、IDC（国際デザインクラブ）、AIBA（国際ビジネス協会連盟）の各組織の会員であり、これらの組織での活動や役職にも積極的に参加しています。
