He was able to do all these sound designs alongside five different childrens' theatre pieces. 

​

   After graduating from Southwestern University, Mitchell chose to achieve a terminal graduate degree at The California Institute of the Arts in Santa Clarita, California.  While achieving his masters degree, Mitchell had the privilege of designing the stage productions of A Splendid Death and The Tempest.  He designed these shows on top of being the head sound designer for numerous animation projects and short films along with being a voice recording engineer.
