(she/her)

Becky has always been fascinated with how our patterns of human development are woven together with the natural world, and has been practicing landscape architecture for over a decade. As an Associate Principal at Living Habitats, a women-owned business on Chicago's northwest side, Becky strives to build great places and to empower others as stewards and visionaries through engagement and design mentorship. Though her career spans a wide range of geographies and project types, from neighborhood parks and playgrounds to regional-scale green infrastructure implementation, her work is consistently responsive to the nuances of the project site and context. As a professional she is committed to equitable distribution, multi-modal access, and ecological integrity of public natural spaces across the entire urban-to-rural transect.
