Michael Mitchell Email & Phone Number

I studied illustration at the Art Institute of Chicago, architecture at The University of Chicago's AIA Design Center and advertising & design at The American Academy of Art. I was a founding partner at Howell/Mitchell Design in Chicago, where I practiced for over three years. Our clients included International Harvester and First National Bank of Ravenswood. I began my freelance practice in New York in 1979. I have 35 years of experience in the field. With an extensive background in marker rendering, I'm fast, versatile and professional, while my agency experience allows me to communicate succinctly and take instruction well. I am proficient in a broad range of techniques and I’m comfortable working in practically any medium. In addition, when creating a storyboard, I tend to think like a director, and I bring that visual perspective to the frames. This enables me to both see your personal vision cinematically, and to creatively fill in the blanks where needed, resulting in presentations that are compelling to your client in ways that the competition can’t match. Over the years, the art and creative directors I’ve served have experienced a consistent record of success when armed with my beautifully detailed comps and storyboards.My work is well known among New York advertising agencies. My clients include J Walter Thompson, Grey Advertising, Sudler & Hennessey, GSW Worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchi, Ogilvy & Mather, Cline, Davis & Mann, FCB Healthcare and Harrison & Starr.

Listed skills include Art, Art Direction, Advertising, Storyboarding, and 19 others.
