Echo Chen

Designer

​

Echo is a landscape architect who blends artistry with technical problem-solving, crafting elegant and thoughtful design solutions. With a Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture from Harvard GSD, she brings a refined design sensibility to every project, balancing precision with creativity. Echo joined Crowley Cottrell in 2025 after working at Reed Hilderbrand.

 

Her work is deeply informed by an interest in community engagement—she thrives on conversation, connection, and understanding the cultural narratives embedded in landscapes. This passion was central to her thesis at Harvard GSD, where she conducted an anthropological study on the cultural landscape surrounding a bridge in rural China, closely documenting the rhythms of daily life and the deep relationship between people and place.

 

Beyond her design work, Echo enjoys fostering a vibrant creative environment, building relationships, and contributing to the culture of collaboration. Outside of the studio, she finds inspiration in travel, sketching, and observing the quiet poetry of everyday landscapes.
