Mike Short
“I enjoy the challenge of staying within a budget, while also getting the most out of it for the client.”
Mike is a third-generation architect in his family, following in the footsteps of his grandfather and great-grandfather, the latter of whom established a well-regarded firm in Chicago. Mike treasures his experiences at the firm from the time he was nine years old and on, including working there weekends and summers during architecture school. Bringing several years of experience to RAMLOW/STEIN, Mike appreciates exposure at the firm to all facets of a project because he believes an architect should have broad knowledge of the practice. He expects to focus on design and project management and draw on his interest in business to make the case for buildings that are not only well-designed, but also provide a return on investment to their owners.
