I built Mitchell's Garage from the ground up alongside my wife; we served clients all over the world, ranging from business accelerators in Germany to chiropractors in Montana to schools in Washington and Idaho. Over time, the agency grew to specialize in comprehensive brand development and identity creation, web design and implementation, and print design - with a special focus on unique marketing and storytelling pieces that would help companies stand out in crowded industries.

As the lead creative strategist and the team's creative director, I develop creative messaging and graphics that my team implements across the entirety of our company's portfolio of brands. From trade show booth design to comprehensive rebranding (logos, websites, business cards, packaging, and more) I have had the opportunity to innovate and create some incredible print and digital pieces in the last 2 years, supported by a great team of hardworking and creative people.

I oversaw a team of creatives and developed several key marketing and branding initiatives that took the company to new heights. My team's Shot Show booth design won the company best in show, and we had countless magazine and digital ads go viral. I am grateful for the time I got to spend helping shape this company's creative direction. I used the Adobe suite as well as my photography b and videography skills, my vendor management skills, and my team management and delegation skills to get individual projects over the finish line, while remaining incredibly innovative at every turn.http://falkordefense.com
