BECCA BASTYR
Senior Landscape Designer
We’re not sure why Becca always knows how to correctly pronounce European words or how she can recall odd historical references, but we suspect it has to do with her degrees from the U of M in both Architecture and Art History. Well, there’s that and her innate interest in artistry of all kinds: literature, music, film, nature and architecture. But it’s Becca’s amazing ability to organize, multi-task—and not the least of all design beautiful spaces—that have earned several prestigious awards for her landscapes and outdoor structures. Couple that with her amiable nature (and fancy shoes) and you have the makings for a pleasant process and a successful and meaningful project!
