"I have had the ongoing pleasure of working with Mitch for well over 15 years. In that time he was a Creative Director at LAM Design and more recently in his present roll as the chief creative force and partner in the firm Brand Dawgs Design. As an illustrator I follow Mitch’s guidance on the projects we collaborate on and in every instance his insights and instincts have always been spot on. He is truly a phenomenal designer who’s abilities span a number of disciplines. AdditionalIy, and in spite of the hectic timeframes we are so often accustomed to, Mitch always maintains his professionalism and, of equal importance to me, his sense of humor. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a truly gifted individual who can oversee every facet of your design needs from top to bottom".

Mitch has great vision, recognizing the “big picture”, not only from a design perspective but also from a profitability viewpoint. Mitch’s skillset includes a personality that clients spark to along with a leadership quality that generates positive energy in the team as he shows patience with young designers while inspiring design teams to a successful finish to each client engagement.
Mitch would be a valuable addition to any design team based on his experience, leadership and positive can-do attitude".

"I had the pleasure of working with Mitch on several projects, but the primary one was packaging design for our company's electric toothbrush. Not only was his work beautiful, but working with him was phenomenal. He provided excellent suggestions, paid close attention to detail and was patient with our team as we evolved design. To boot he is super responsive - very helpful for our fast-paced environment. I would recommend him to other personal care companies who need packaging design assistance".

"Mitch is the creative designer behind my entire brand. When I opened my orthopedic practice deep in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, I had a vision of what I wanted my brand to be. Mitch's creativity and eye for detail brought that vision into reality. His logo design has been complimented throughout this valley as eye-catching, colorful, and sharp. His marketing skills helped turn a logo into an easily recognized brand that is respected and has truly helped my new practice flourish. He is extremely responsive, thorough, and personable and never failed to deliver what was needed before it was due. In short, Mitch would be a fantastic asset to any design team".

I have had the pleasure of working for Mitch for over 6 years now. What I love about working for him is that he always has a clear understanding of what the client wants, is motivational and inspirational. He is always very flexible with timing and absolutely understands the creative process, which I always appreciated. Not only is Mitch great to work for on a professional level but he is one of the few people I work for that actually takes the time to ask me how I am doing…and really means it! We spend at least a half hour on the phone talking about our pets, family and life before we get down to business and that really means a lot in this fast-paced, crazy design world we live in. I look forward to continuing to work for him in the future and highly recommend him to anyone needing assistance on all aspects of the design process.
