About

Moka is a future landscape architect,
aiming to design landscapes especially in cities that attracts people to their local natural environment. 

City dwellers travel far dreaming of being surrounded by great nature.
However, the beauty of nature, as in anything other than human creations, exists just beside your foot within the city- in plants, insects or the flow of water. The issue would be the lack of people's imagination on connecting those pieces of nature to the environment they live in, or how those blessings of nature keep us alive.
I aim to tackle this situation through my future landscape design and management, targeting cities: where most human beings grow up in, but the separation between humans and nature is accelerated with rapid urbanisation. 

My lifelong goal is to create biodiverse green spaces that blends into the daily lives of urban residents, and communicate the importance of living with nature.
As a step towards this, I'm studying in the master's programme and pursue long-lasting green spaces that are tailored to the region for its vegetation and culture.
