**★★★★★ — dawn\_watson1, June 2026**

> I had a fantastic experience working with Mike at Mad Works.  He was always on top of all tasks and very communicative.  He did a great job trying to push permits along with the city.  I am starting a small local business and he was extremely helpful in guiding me and answering all of my questions.  Very pleased and would highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Terrence Moline, Feb. 2018**

> Mike is a seasoned and skillful architect with experience working for some of the best design firms in Austin.
> He listened closely to our requests, took our primitive sketches and turned them into a comfortable, contemporary house where every corner was thoughtfully considered and utilized.
>
> In comparison to other architects we’ve worked with in the past, Mike is flexible, knowledgeable and patient.
> In addition, he gave us a realistic vision of the building process that helped my wife and I manage expectations.
> It was a pleasure to have him on our team throughout this daunting process and we are incredibly excited to live in one of his creations.

**★★★★★ — Reid Drapp, Feb. 2018**

> We just finished a DIY kitchen remodel and we hired Michael Diani at mad works to help us with the design. Working with Michael was a dream! When we set out to tackle our kitchen remodel ourselves, we knew we needed to work with a professional to help us reimagine the space and at the same time, make sure the structural requirements of our home were being considered. Choosing to work with an architect rather than a GP or an interior designer was definitely the way to go. Even though our project was small, Michael made us feel like we were a priority every step of the way. He connected us with quality suppliers for materials and checked in frequently throughout the process. We will definitely call on him again for future projects.
