As a landscape architect, Ruoyi views landscape design as an opportunity to not only enhance aesthetic appeal but also to convey the unique history, ecology, and geography of each site. Drawing inspiration from Missouri's diverse ecosystem, rich variety of trees, and distinct seasonal changes, she finds endless possibilities for incorporating natural features into her designs. She is passionate about the creative process of blending these elements with thoughtful design, crafting outdoor spaces that are visually engaging, ecologically sustainable, and functionally accessible. Her goal is to create environments that offer a comfortable, human-scale experience, allowing people to connect with and enjoy the natural beauty of the landscape throughout the changing seasons.
