Jordan Mitchell is a lifelong resident of San Diego’s North County. His passion for drawing logos and creating brand names started early on giving Jordan his first taste of bringing ideas to life while attending a San Dieguito High School screen printing night class. Soon after, he got practical experience with his first job screen-printing skateboards for Planet Earth Skateboards. After leaving Planet Earth, Jordan worked with various creatives, designers and brands that included an internship with internationally renowned artist Shepard Fairey of Obey. Though lacking computer design experience, he would hand draw Planet Earth soft goods graphics and submit them to Chris Miller (Professional Skateboarder, founder of Planet Earth Skateboards, Adio Footwear, co-founder of Vuori Clothing). After Chris encouraged him to learn computer design, he secured design jobs with Nixon, Clive and ultimately a full time position at Sole Technology.
From November, 2014 through April, 2016 Jordan worked with Libre Design and Raen Optics as a full-time independent contractor. While at Libre he worked on projects for Raen, prAna, World Surf League, Tea of a Kind, Inderma, British Customs, Beaming, XCEL, Optical Shop of Aspen, Biopop and Breezer Bikes.
