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

We hired MWA, specifically the team of Kurt and Kristi, to design our home in Truckee in mid-2010. They worked with us through design, contractor selection, and the construction process that ended in mid-2012. While the "gender-equality" of their team made them a comfortable choice for my wife and I, it was their design talent that truly set them a part. Additionally, as we went through the entire process, it was both their ability to listen to our thoughts and concerns, and their ability to read between the lines of our requests, that truly made the relationship so successful and special. If given a second chance, we would make the same choice in design professionals without a second's hesitation. Highly recommended.
