Michael Chmiel

Designer | Architecture

Michael joined Hacin’s architecture practice in the summer of 2026. He received a Master of Architecture degree from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University and received his Bachelor’s degree from Roger Williams University. While a student at Washington University, he studied abroad in Barcelona for a semester and during the subsequent summer, interned in Madrid. Through these experiences in Spain, he fostered an appreciation for design grounded in local context while part of a global discourse.

During his graduate studies, Michael and his teammates earned first place in Washington University’s Year End Show Competition for exhibition design and its ensuing production, which was on display during May 2026. Metropolis Magazine featured him as a 2026 Future100 honoree, which celebrates the top 25 graduate architecture students in North America. Before entering his masters program, he gained experience as a drafter for mid to high-rise concrete buildings in New York City. Beyond design, he enjoys traveling, staying active through sports and hiking, and reading.
