Michael Mewhirter

Michael Mewhirther is an architect at O’Brien Architects, known for his vibrant energy and deep passion for design. Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Michael’s childhood dreams oscillated between becoming a farmer or a pilot, inspired by his grandparents. However, his path eventually led him to architecture, where he has made a lasting impact. 

Despite the challenging period during the 2009 recession when many in the industry left, he remained dedicated to his craft, continuing to build a career centered on his love for creating meaningful spaces.  Michael is driven by the belief that every day is an opportunity to learn or teach something new. 

Outside of architecture, Michael’s interests reflect his adventurous spirit. He enjoys scuba diving and is always seeking new places to explore the underwater world. When he’s not diving, you’ll likely find him relaxing by the pool or around a fire pit.
