「一粒」（Ili）是高梅禎的阿美族語發音，意為恩典加倍。在都市渡過數年的繁忙職涯後，她於2000年返回故鄉臺東成立「一粒工作室」。工作室先從織布、刺繡開始，慢慢延伸到陶藝、木雕、燒琉璃等工藝，後來則以月桃編織為主。月桃編織除了是高梅禎的部落媽媽們教導之外，她也親自到其他部落去學習。身為原住民傳統手工藝的種籽，高梅禎積極投入教學傳承的工作，尤其是月桃編織作品備受肯定，她以創新手法將傳統工藝融合現代美感，做成實用品及裝飾品。作品純手工製作，將大自然巧妙地編織進生活裡的絕妙創作，研發出許多實用的生活精品：便當盒、手提包、公事包、側背包等； 2022年更榮獲全國原住民族文創設計競賽個人組金獎的肯定。

“Ili” in the Amis language means ‘multiplied grace’. After spending many years busy working in the city, Ili decided in 2000 to return to her hometown in Taitung, where she set up the Ili Studio.” Her work at the studio began with weaving and embroidery and slowly extended to pottery, wood carving and glazed glass firing before focusing on shell ginger weaving. Besides learning from tribal women, she also took weaving lessons from weavers in the tribe. Seeing herself as a seed for the traditional craft preservation, Ili is proactively committed to teaching and passing on the craft. Her shell ginger weaving has since received much recognition. She comes to the traditional craft with an innovative approach, and with a fusion of modern aesthetic, turns shell ginger weaving into practical objects and decorative items. Her entirely hand-made artworks have ingeniously woven nature into the everyday life. Many practical yet exquisite items have been created, e.g., shell ginger bento boxes, shell ginger handbags, shell ginger briefcases, and shell ginger shoulder bags. In 2022, Ili won the gold prize of the solo artist category at the National Indigenous Creative and Cultural Design Competition.
