Maisie Irving
Senior colleague - Landscape architect, layer.studio
Jan 2026 - Aug 2026

Xiyu was an absolute pleasure to work with and a wonderful colleague to have on the team. She is incredibly friendly, approachable, and always showed a genuine interest in the work we were doing. We collaborated well, and I could always rely on her to follow instructions carefully and deliver what was needed. Her standout talent, however, is her exceptional skill with visualisations and graphical outputs—she consistently produces brilliant, high-quality visuals that elevate any project. She’s a reliable, talented, and collaborative person, and any team would be incredibly lucky to have her.
