## Principal Architects Mike Dawson & Chris Hawley

Craftwell began in Chris Hawley’s backyard shed 14 years ago and has grown into a 20-person, full-service design-build firm rooted in Fargo. From residential remodels to commercial builds, Craftwell blends architecture, interior design, and construction management to create spaces that feel deeply personal and purpose-built.

They’re known for listening first before translating people’s stories, quirks, and needs into thoughtful design. Whether it’s a kitchen renovation or a multi-family project, Craftwell delivers work that’s imaginative, grounded, and tailored to the people who live in it.

With 19 AIA awards, national press features, and a new headquarters in a once-vacant downtown Fargo building, Craftwell is helping shape the heart of the city they love.

More than builders, they’re collaborators who believe every space should elevate daily life. At Craftwell, it’s not about trends. It’s about trust, craft, and community.
