Lu is a landscape designer with an interest in the urban public realm. Based in a
deep understanding of a place’s context, her designs focus on improving public
life and uplifting the human experience. She believes design must derive from
context in order to positively influence people, both physically and emotionally.
Her project work includes collaborations with Auburn University, the College of the Holy Cross, Georgetown University, New England Development,
and the University of Virginia. Lu holds a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Texas at
Austin, and a Bachelor of Engineering in Landscape Architecture from Chongqing
