In March 2022, leveraging the wealth of knowledge and experience I gained in my previous roles, I embarked on an exciting new chapter by establishing my own firm, Mitchell Designs Architecture.This venture represents a significant milestone in my career, allowing me to apply my expertise in private and commercial residential architecture while expanding into medical and retail design.As a sole practitioner, I embrace the dual responsibilities of architectural design and business management, including handling all administrative tasks.A key focus of my practice is innovating in architectural presentation. I have pioneered the use of real-time virtual walkthroughs, transforming architectural projects into interactive, game-like experiences.This groundbreaking approach enables clients to explore their future buildings in a fully immersive 3D environment or in first-person perspective, offering them the unique ability to capture their own renders. This not only enhances client engagement but also sets a new standard in architectural visualization.
