Mitchell is a Dallas native growing up in Coppell Texas. He attended New Tech High @ Coppell, a project-based learning high school and being in the architecture industry today really allowed him to learn how to communicate and delegate multiple work tasks with different individuals which translated well to working on architecture projects today.
After high school, Mitchell attended Texas A&M University and graduated with a degree in Environmental Design. He gained his passion for design and architecture from an early age but never thought he would end up where he is today. Growing up he was either outside playing sports or inside drawing houses, cars, home décor, etc and this is where his gift for architecture was really born. He had it in him but didn’t realize it until he got to college and decided to pursue architecture as his career.
Before starting at PRDG full time in January of 2022 Mitchell has worked for a range of different real-world experiences. He has worked as a framer for a custom home builder in his hometown, as a designer for a custom home design firm in the US Virgin Islands and for Gensler for 3 years post grad in their Dallas Office primarily working on commercial office building design.
Currently Mitchell works directly with Scott Leever our Design Director and helps bring every project to life from the get go. He works on concept plan work, concept character images and renderings, program evaluation, site planning etc before passing off the project to our production teams to further develop the construction sets.
The work that we produce here at PRDG and specifically Senior Living is very rewarding in many ways but mainly being able to see the residents using the different spaces that we designed and living comfortably in that stage of life makes it fulfilling to know that what we are designing and working on does make a difference in their lives and their families lives.
Outside of work you can find Mitchell outdoors! He loves to be on the golf course secretly competing against his Dad and brother. If he isn’t golfing he loves to be active whether its running out at White Rock Lake or playing pickle ball with his friends. His 5 nieces and nephews also take up his time whether it’s a birthday or a sports game, he loves seeing them grow up and spending time with them and the rest of his family!
Even though he has been to some pretty amazing places in life up to this point including Hawaii, Cabo, USVI/BVI, Whistler, etc…his dream vacation spot would have to be Mykonos & Santorini Greece!
