Teamwork and collaboration are the core values at DOWLING Architects. We work in a studio atmosphere where everyone’s voices are heard. We utilize our team’s perspectives, from our administrative staff to our principal architects and throughout the process, our clients become part of our team to bring their architectural vision to life.

Mike’s passion for architecture is evident in his work. In his years of practice, he has developed the skills to connect with his clients on a personal level and to collaborate and build consensus on complex projects. Each project is seen as an opportunity to create great design which is rooted in its sense of place. Mikes time away from the practice is spent with family, in the outdoors, drag racing and golfing.

Lindsey has always been drawn to artistic traits whether it's sketching, painting, photography, or architecture. A true Bobcat, she received two degrees from Montana State University, her undergraduate in Graphic Design and her Master’s in Architecture. Utilizing her marketing background within her design, she finds that architecture allows us to tell a story in a multidimensional sense that leaves impressions on its occupants through interior and exterior connections. Lindsey loves spending as much time outdoors as possible, especially camping, cooking, and eating on the patio with family and friends.

Project Manager

Nicole began her work profession with a goal to learn as many trades as possible and achieve the skill set to physically build projects on her own. Working with the parts and pieces of construction allows her to bring a holistic approach to her design as she has a strong understanding of what it takes to actually build a project. She strives to learn new things daily which makes Architecture a great passion and fit for her as she’s always discovering something new and innovative in the field. In her free time, she volunteers at her local community garden, enjoys creating pottery, and stays outside as much as possible to take advantage of everything Montana has to offer.
