Rebecca "Becky" Thayer
Project Manager/ Designer



Becky grew up in Wisconsin, and moved to Michigan as a young adult where she met her husband. After working as a baker for many years, it was time to pursue new opportunities. She worked as a realtor for a while; then decided to go back to school.

Becky earned an Associate of Architectural Technology from Madison Area Technical College in Madison, WI. After graduation, Becky worked as a Structural Steel Detailer. The projects she worked on included mostly medical clinics and hospitals, and a few factories.

A few years later she once again attended college and earned a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and Sustainability from Ferris State University in Big Rapids, MI. After graduating, Becky and her husband moved to California, where she joined MWA in 2013 as a drafter.

Becky enjoys the simple things in life. She places great importance on friends and family, who she considers as one in the same. Her interests include adventures in and exploration of natural environments, nature photography, small-scale subsistence farming, hunting and fishing, foraging, art, music, and wine-making.


All Staff

I have worked with MWA Architects on a number of projects over the years both as a member of the consultant team and as the Developer. My experience working with them in both capacities has provided me a comprehensive perspective of their outstanding knowledge, capabilities and service. MWA has extensive project experience in the local environment working with the applicable jurisdictions. In addition they utilize other highly qualified professionals in assembling their project teams. While these attributes clearly provide their clients an excellent value MWA also prides themselves on producing quality projects. MWA Architects have continually demonstrated exceptional ability in navigating projects successfully though all the planning, design, approvals and construction processes. Retaining MWA as the prime consultant for pursuing a development project in the Truckee region is unquestionably a positive choice.
