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 would highly recommend MWA Architects to any potential new home owner or contractor. We chose MWA to design our full-time Truckee residence after considering several other architectural firms. MWA stood out as being one of the most creative and collaborative firms to work with, both important considerations for us.

Working with Kurt Reinkens and Kristi Thompson was a pleasure. MWA started out trying to understand how we wanted to interact in our home environment, and designed our home around the way that we wanted to live. Integrating the final design with our lifestyle with the natural environment around our property, the end result was truly our dream home.
