From China to the U.S., from dim sum to brunch, from math school to design school, and from New Jersey, New York, Los Angeles to Seattle, with more than a decade of experience working as a landscape designer, Cara specializes in creating functional and elegant landscapes that seamlessly blend beauty with purpose. She has a deep passion for integrating Eastern and Western aesthetics, bringing together timeless traditions and contemporary sensibilities in every design.
