Qianli’s passion for landscape architecture started in Hangzhou, China. The city is famous for its traditional Chinese gardens. The culture and gardens in Hangzhou played a pivotal role in Qianli’s curiosity of the ties between nature and humans. This led to her pursuit of a master’s degree in landscape architecture from Cornell University, and to her start as a Designer for residential properties in the Bay Area.  

Qianli has played a huge role at Terra Ferma Landscapes Design since starting in 2023.  Her skills, dedication to her craft, and love for landscape design has been a great addition to design studio.

In her free time Qianli enjoys traveling, photography, and playing frisbee with her mini-Australian Shepherd, Summer.
