Kshitijia is a landscape designer whose work lives where buildings and nature meet. Trained first in architecture, she came to see how green space and biophilic design can root a building in its surroundings, and that idea continues to shape her approach to landscape. For Kshitijia, good design starts with listening: understanding how people actually use a place before deciding what it should become. She is especially drawn to brownfield renewal, ecologically grounded planting design, and public spaces that serve their communities.
She explored these themes during her master’s degree in landscape architecture at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where community engagement and neighborhood input directly informed design decisions. Kshitijia believes the best spaces feel alive and meaningful, and she brings this philosophy to every project, shaping landscapes that serve communities and enrich daily life.
