MYA KESLER

Mya is a Landscape Architect with more than 25 years of experience leading projects of varying scale and complexity while working closely with multidisciplinary teams. Prior to relocating to Minnesota, she founded and operated a landscape design-build firm in the San Francisco Bay Area, where for 14 years she managed all aspects of project delivery for residential and commercial clients, from initial design through construction.  Over the past decade at O2 Design, Mya has worked on Mission-Critical developments across the United States and Europe for leading global technology clients. Her work has included navigating site-specific constraints, coordinating with large consultant teams, and guiding projects through complex permitting processes, often within demanding schedules and rapidly evolving project conditions.  With a foundation in ecology, hands-on construction experience, and extensive plant knowledge she delivers resilient landscapes that support biodiversity while meeting both client programmatic and code requirements.
