Who we are
At Markham Design Studio, we value Family, Friends, and the Stories that make us all who we are. That is why we believe that the best way to do any job, is to get to know the people you work with.
Michael Markham, AIA:
A licensed architect, founder of Markham Design Studio, and a proud Louisiana native. Since earning my Master of Architecture from Louisiana Tech in 2013, I’ve called the Dallas area home, where I’ve spent over a decade designing thoughtful, lasting spaces that bring people together.
Before starting Markham Design Studio in 2025, I developed my skills as a practicing architect and project manager at JHP Architecture. For 10 plus years, I led and contributed to a wide range of multifamily, mixed-use, and senior living projects. That experience sharpened my dedication to craft and helped shape my belief that great architecture is both creative and deeply human.
At the core of my work are the values that guide my life: family, dedication, creativity, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Whether I’m sketching a new home concept or enjoying a good meal with friends, I’m drawn to the stories, connection, and the richness of everyday experiences that life has to offer.
At Markham Design Studio, I strive to create architecture that feels grounded, intentional, and inspiring — spaces designed for real life, with a personal touch.
