Janice Chung is a world renowned landscape designer, who has done work all over the world from the United States to Dubai. Her interest in landscape design was cultivated at a young age. Born and raised in Taiwan, Janice Chung spent a great deal of time playing in a large yard and was able to do plant identification at the age of 6. As a child, she had plenty of tropical fruit trees like Mangos, Coco Palms, Cheramoias, Guavas, as well as ornamental plants, like Osmanthus, Crape Myrtle, Bauhenia. Her favorite plant as a child was Juniper and Delonix Regia Tree. She was a child prodigy for her skills at plant identification. Always being intrigued by plants, Janice Chung treated each one of them altruistically. She remembers observing the every little detail of a Guava tree and their distinct characters. It was also at a young age that she discovered her ability to create and develop her sense of aesthetics and balance because her parents' owned a clothing factory, where she would pin up a dress with a large piece of cloth on mannequins. After moving to California due to her parents' education opportunity, she soon missed her yard of plants and having a variety of fabric to play with, but it was not until senior year in high school that she rediscovered her passion. Janice Chung found Landscape Architecture at Cal Poly Pomona, deciding to take on the opportunity to connect again with design and plant materials. She was soon inspired to create outdoor spaces for people to enjoy. As a landscape designer, Janice Chung is not only creating art using natural materials as a media but always intends to bring the indoors outdoors. Each project has its unique composition, function, and purpose. She aims to explore textures, colors, and forms and to create outdoor spaces for people to enjoy. There are always something new and something she has not noticed before that intrigues her. In 2007, Janice Chung foundedJC&Co Land Art Studio, as a landscape design firm that listens to and works closely with their clients to translate their goals and wishes into a design that is creative, cost-effective and suited to their unique lifestyle.
