Beyond client work, we invest our skills in projects that serve our community. Good design has the power to improve lives, and we believe in using ours where it matters most.
At Designs By Mitchel, we have always believed that thoughtful design should not be limited to those who can afford custom work. Our Purposeful Projects initiative donates design and materials to organizations and families in our community who could use a hand.
Whether it is refreshing a space for a nonprofit, helping a family rebuild after a hardship, or volunteering our expertise for a community center, we bring the same standard of care to every project.
"What they did for our community space was remarkable. Same level of care you'd expect from a paying client, and they did it because they wanted to help."
Our first purposeful project. This is where the idea took root, and we are building from here.
Our first community investment. Designs By Mitchel contributed design and materials to a neighborhood renovation project, bringing the same quality and attention to detail we put into every client project.
This initiative is growing. As we take on more community work, this page will grow with it. For now, the Sharswood project represents our commitment to giving back through design.

Become a PartnerPurposeful Projects starts locally, but the values behind it reach further. Through our partnership with Oportunidades Latinas, Designs By Mitchel is connected to a growing network of skilled professionals across Latin America who bring real executive-level talent to our team.
This is not a charity initiative. It is a business partnership where everyone wins. We gain access to trained, motivated team members with skills we would not easily find through traditional hiring. They gain stable careers that support a quality of life that would not otherwise be available. The work gets done at a high level. The impact is real on both sides.
"Several members of our team today are here because of this partnership. They are not doing us a favor, and we are not doing them one. They earn their roles, and we are a stronger studio because of them."
Oportunidades Latinas documents stories of economic empowerment across Latin America, showing what becomes possible when skilled people get connected to real opportunity. Supporting this work is a natural extension of the same belief that drives our community projects here at home: that good work should reach the people who will do the most with it.
Documenting stories of economic empowerment and connecting skilled professionals to real opportunity across Latin America and beyond.
Team members connected through this partnership work alongside our local crew every day. They are part of the studio, not a separate program.
The team at Designs by Mitchel genuinely cares about the people they work with. That is not something you find everywhere.
