I am a proud graduate of Whitworth University’s design and business programs – an educational experience that boosted my general design knowledge and gave me the tools I needed to launch a successful business. The decision to establish my company in Montana was largely family-driven, although I have come to find that nothing piques my creative juices like endless blue skies, beautiful mountains, and a peacefulness that is like no place else I have ever been.
After spending quite a bit of time working within several design mediums and in many different business sectors, I decided to refine my business focus. My desire is to offer clients a more cohesive, directed design process from start to finish. I am excited to specialize in branding and identity projects for all business types.
My attention to detail and my desire to do things right the first time gives me a unique approach to company brands. I love seeing design elements transform company collateral and marketing materials into pieces with heart and soul. My clients are wonderful people who are bringing fabulous products and services to the world. My goal is to help my clients add value to their brands and companies with beautiful, eye-catching, and cohesive designs.
Derrick created a beautiful website for our company (http://cpahsa.com/), using very little direction to create something that we truly love that is functional, attractive, and lead-generating. From the very beginning when we initially contacted him, he was full of ideas while at the same time listening to our own. He consulted us BEFORE going over budget, giving us some options that were very unique approaches at different price points.
In addition to his knowledge base and creativity skills, he was very trustworthy and a man of integrity and honor. I would highly recommend Derrick's work to anyone, even if it is just a consultation. He will certainly be able to help.

I have had a great working relationship with Derrick with both graphic and web design. I think what I value most about working with Derrick is his endless creative reservoir. I enjoyed very much being able to give Derrick a rough idea and then let him work his "creative magic."
I was never disappointed in the results he was able to deliver. I was able to trust that whatever I could imagine as a success, he would far surpass in quality and creativity. I also appreciated his continued suggestion of new ideas/technologies to consider related to web design and usage. I highly recommend Derrick to anyone with graphic or web design needs!

Recently we contracted with Mr. Mitchell to recreate the website for Spokane Christian Academy. We are a K-8 private school that has been in existence for 28 years. Through the process Derrick was helpful, attentive and professional. He also was very patient with us as we were new to the website process.
Upon its launch the finished product began reaping benefits immediately. As we interview prospective new families, we always ask what brought them our way. 40% tell us about a friend that referred them. A full 60% tell us that our website intrigued and attracted them.
Derrick’s design is current, user-friendly and packed with information. Since the initial launching we have retained Mr. Mitchell’s services to keep our site up-to-date and fresh. He has proven himself to be helpful and accountable to accomplishing his tasks.
I recommend Derrick Mitchell as a graphic designer and website developer without reservation. I am sure you will be extraordinarily pleased with his services.

Derrick,
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the work you have done on our website. You’ve been very professional in every aspect of the services you offer your clients.
We’ve been in business since 1992 and have utilized website services that were located out of state and for many different reasons it never seemed to work out. We were a little skeptical about using another person from out of state to work on our website, but you immediately put us at ease through your e-mails and phone calls. Your professionalism, expertise and honesty came through.
Derrick, we hope to do business with you for many years to come.
Sincerely,
Andy & Vicki Salgado

It is very easy to work with Derrick over the phone and e-mail. I'm in the Marine Corps and was introduced to Derrick by his childhood friend Nate, a sailor I worked with while deployed last year. Derrick has proven time and again to be a man of character and competence in building the Force Ministries website. He bills to the minute and will estimate costs to the customers advantage. He is able to guide his customers with decision points by knowing the technical end of web site development well and relating that in layman terms to the customers needs.
I want him to continue to be our web site manager and don't think I can find a man with his character, enthusiasm, and competence to help our ministry out with our website like he has.
God Bless,
Chris
