Mengqi works in both 2D and 3D art including sculpture, jewelry, and photography. Each piece she design tells a story and works to connect with the viewer on, a personal level. She got her BFA degree in Industrial Design at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and MFA degree in sculpture at Pennsylvania State University. Then she worked as an Assistant Teaching professor in 3D foundation art at Pennsylvania State University for a year. She is currently a Ed.M candidate in Learning Design, Innovation and Technology at Harvard University. She uses food culture as metaphor for global issues and her own cross-culture identity. Her work invites people to experience the narrative, struggles and cultures relate to food, make them question how food and human behavior affects each other. 

梦琪于美国伊利诺伊香槟大学(UIUC)工业设计本科毕业后,在宾州州立大学(PSU)持全额奖学金攻读视觉艺术研究生并任教。她的作品大多与饮食文化相关,并且善于用食物来隐喻社会现象和她的跨文化身份及经历。她的作品将观众带入与食物相关的文化、故事以及矛盾之中,并以此引发观众思考与质疑食物与人类的相互作用关系。
