Maple is originally from Guangzhou, China, where she developed a connection to the forest, mountains, and water. She also worked as an Urban Design and Architectural Intern in Rotterdam before moving to Vancouver. Maple is drawn to public spaces, circulation and enhancing the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces while finding ways to incorporate local materiality. She operates a food illustration blog and is inspired to continue language learning and teaching.
