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.

Every project is a collaboration, thoughtfully crafted to reflect your vision while honoring the land. When she’s not designing, Cara enjoys hiking, sketching, refining recipes, practicing tai chi and yoga, and always drawing inspiration from nature and the world around.
