Yi Zhao

Yi earned her Master of Landscape Architecture degree from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 2021 and began her career in Nashville, TN. She recently relocated to Texas to join KW’s San Antonio office as a Project Coordinator. In her role, Yi nurtures client relationships, conceptualizes their visions, and works closely with her team to ensure projects stay on track. She is excited to expand her professional network, improve her skills, and deepen her understanding of the landscape industry.
When she’s not working, Yi can be found hiking at national and state parks, camping with her husband, or playing small ball sports like badminton, pickleball, tennis or table tennis.

The first word that comes to mind is teamwork. While teamwork is common in our field, it’s not always done efficiently or productively. This vision also reflects ambition and confidence, which makes me excited and eager to see the chemical reactions we can create together.”
