Purposeful Projects
Designs By Mitchel
Why Brent Does What He Does
At the heart of Designs by Mitchell is a simple belief: design should matter. Just like how thoughtful community projects — such as the Philadelphia Housing Authority’s celebration of 65 new affordable housing units with a first-of-its-kind sidewalk poetry project — go beyond mere function to inspire, uplift, and connect people, Brent approaches design with the same purpose-driven mindset.
For Brent, design isn’t just about aesthetics or visuals. It reflects identity, values, and impact. He believes that great design should:
Serve a Purpose
Good design solves problems. Great design tells a story. In the same way that public art — like poetry stamped into sidewalks — enriches everyday experiences and beautifies neighborhoods, Brent creates work that transforms brands and spaces into meaningful experiences for people.
Connect With Community
The sidewalk poetry project paired affordable housing with art — merging practicality with creativity to strengthen community spirit.
Brent sees every project as part of a larger story — a chance to connect businesses and audiences in ways that feel authentic, resonant, and human.
Inspire Growth and Belonging
Projects that bring people together — whether through housing, art, or design — help create environments where people belong and thrive. That’s what Brent aims to do with your brand: help it grow with intention, meaning, and impact.
Celebrate Individuality and Expression
Just like those poems written into a city’s sidewalks give voice to residents and invite everyone to pause and engage, Brent’s design philosophy values expression, uniqueness, and purpose. He designs with intention — not just making things look good, but making them feel good and do good.
In short: Brent does what he does because he believes that design should do more than decorate — it should transform, tell stories, and make a difference. His work reflects a deeper.
