Yi Zhao

Landscape Designer

Yi comes from a coastal city in northern China, who loves being connected with nature since childhood. Although under the high-speed urbanization, Yi often spends vacations and weekends with her family outside and gets in touch with nature. For this reason, Yi has a keen interest in landscape, which connects human society and nature like bridges. 


Yi holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Landscape Gardening from Nanjing Agricultural University and a Master’s Degree from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She continues to break through her comfort zone during the process and has won several awards, including the 2019 ASLA Student Honor Awards, 2021 ILASLA Student Merit Designation, and 2021 ILASLA Student Merit Award.


Yi‘s interests include stormwater management, sustainable design, placemaking and etc. She always keeps exploring every aspect of landscape design, trying to integrate landscape into people’s lives to improve the environmental quality and sustainability in various designs on different scales.


Outside the office, Yi likes to go hiking in parks. Sometimes she lives in a tent for a few days, away from all electronic products, to feel the breath of nature.
