As a Landscape Architect, Becca has developed widely recognized expertise in the planning and design of powerful places that convey stories linking us to our place in the natural world. Her focus on integrating a broad understanding of natural ecosystem dynamics and sustainable approaches with social psychology, policy planning, horticulture and aesthetics has enabled her to pursue commissions that seek to celebrate the dynamic interactions between infrastructure, people, place and perception that create the landscape of human experience.

In addition, Becca brings a well-developed set of communication, facilitation and consensus-building skills to each project that she undertakes, seeking to achieve a balance to potentially divergent program requirements, design components and client groups. These skills have been invaluable in building repeat clients by facilitating productive discussion, decision-making and action, as well as in building a shared understanding about the special opportunities present within each group of people and in each potential project.
