About Matt Whitaker
Matt is the founding principal of WMWA Landscape Architects. After working twelve years at award winning firms in Virginia and Washington, DC, Matt returned home to start his own firm.
When Matt was 17, his high school art teacher took notice of his interests in art and nature and suggested that he study landscape architecture. Landscape architecture is his third profession after working as a butcher during undergrad and managing the production of cutting-edge drug delivery polymers shortly after he graduated. His bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry from the University of Alabama in Huntsville
centered on the macro and micro characteristics of plant ecology. Building on his interests, Matt applied his love for ecology and plant communities to a rigorous design curriculum while earning his Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Georgia’s School of Environmental Design. As a lifelong student, his passion for ecology and natural systems heavily influences his work as a landscape architect.
Matt loves the outdoors, good food, and is fascinated by plants.18 attendees
