Brendan Mitchell’s Summary

I'm currently driving www.nopaper.com, a business hell bent on creating solutions to facilitate in your daily handling of information and dramatically reducing paper wastage specifically in the live events industry & corporate environments. We plan to do this by creating convenient solutions that enrich usage of current technologies & communications. Phase 1 of no paper is currently in beta, with a public release due in late 2009. You can follow the development of nopaper at www.twitter.com/nopaper

Imagine a future with no paper™

I have 2 other companies plus a non-profit currently in very early development, but these are taking a back shelf as I concentrate on no paper.

My background:
Two decades in the Digital Media industry, with experience of onscreen graphic creation for motion pictures (inc Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Da Vinci Code, United 93 to name a few), B2B & B2C websites, GUI design and corporate identity. Specializing in Online Branding, Brand Alignment & Digital Brand Protection. I have founded & built several companies, the first in Singapore in 95, and vision360 being one of the most recent in the UK, which became the UK Division of the Swedish based Cordovan Group in 2007. I stepped down as a Director of Cordovan in March 2009.

  • Sole Proprietor / Digital Designer

    zoot

    (Design industry)

    July 1994March 1995 (9 months)

    This was the time I went into the big wide world on my own and never looked back. During this period I met my current Business Partner Richard Lucas when we worked together on the Bond Film Golden Eye. I worked with various multimedia agencies mainly in the live events industry, before the opportunity to move to Singapore arose.

  • Senior Designer

    June 1992June 1994 (2 years 1 month)

    A baptism of fire into the live events industry, a stepping stone into the world of real multimedia. Here I cut my teeth on software like Macromind Video Works (yes that long ago!) and learnt a healthy understanding of absolute deadlines (what do you mean there's over 500 people out there waiting for the conference to start!)

  • Medical Illustrator / Art Director

    Royal Postgraduate Medical School

    (Public Company; 11-50 employees; Design industry)

    July 1990June 1992 (2 years )

    Scrubbed up, wearing latex gloves & surgical greens then hanging around in operating theatres for hours on end, having jars containing body parts placed on your desk… appreciating that beauty really is only skin deep, all in all, an ordinary day at the office!
