MUJO -rude advice for the future

What’s said about Mette Mitchell:

John Petter Opdahl, Minister Counsellor, Royal Norwegian Embassy, London
“The space Mette designed for 100% Design for the Embassy’s exhibition is 2004 was truly unique and special for all of us. She immediately understood our intentions with the exhibition and interpreted these into an open space layout that allowed every object maximum exposure and pleased all

the exhibiting designers. Altogether it was a great experience to work with her and I am happy to recommend her.”

Anne Lise Kjaer, Director, Kjaer Global (International trend forecasting agency)
“Mette is a loyal Kjaer Global customer. Her trend literacy is very well displayed in her translation of conceptual ideas into products and ‘easy to use’ design manuals. She utilises our trend material to its full extend and the links to her end products are very transparent. Her feedback over the years has been invaluable and we just love the way she translates trends. Not only is she an amazing ideator, but she is also a creator and a practitioner. She simply makes things happen. It is a real privilege to work with such a consummate professional like her.”

Bharati Manchanda, Creative Director, Embellished Truth
“I have collaborated with Mette on one of her consulting and rebranding projects. I have found Mette to be highly professional and approachable. With a wealth of original ideas and the drive to turn them into reality. She is dedicated to each project she undertakes with a smart eye for detail and knowledge of current/future trends. It’s been a true pleasure working with Mette, and I hope we will continue to work creatively together in the future.”

Ole Leth Larsen, Director, Fronterra Furniture Co Ltd, Germany
WOW - is the first word that comes to my mind! Generally I’m a conservative person holding the cards tight, but Mette, she is one of a kind - her sense of good humor makes her go on and it makes the team go on - we have worked nights to reach dead-lines. And she brought inspiration as well as aspiration to reach the objective at hand…Mette is totally dedicated and she insists on getting to the defined objective not to mention achieving quality in her work. She is passionate and focused. I welcome anyone to contact me to verify and at the same time wish everyone else the best of joy working with Mette - it will bring you forward ! Viggo Molholm, President and CEO, BoConcept
“Mette was employed by BoConcept from 2000-2003 and we have since used Mette for freelance projects. Mette was with us in the beginning of our concept and was a part of the team that professionalised the style expression of our stores. Mette has a unique eye for new trends and is 100% updated about style. It was only natural that she also had the full responsibility for the communication of our visuals and training of stylists worldwide where she through her passionate way inspired our employees from all cultures.”

Morten Grønborg, Communications Manager, Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies
"Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (CIFS) has with great satisfaction used Mette as a speaker. The conference "Trend Spotting -How?" with more than a hundred participating business people was a success not the least because of Mette’s contribution. Visually it was a pleasure and her talk was carried out with a contagious energy, a large knowledge on the subject and a rich presentation. CIFS also enjoyed Mette’s experience in the planning process of the conference and it is without hesitation that we thank her and give our best recommendations to businesses and organisations worldwide." Roslyn Ross and Eduardo da Silva, BoConcept Portugal
“We were delighted when Mette agreed to design and style our exhibition at the Casa Decor design exhibition in the 17th century Fortress of Cascais. She did a wonderful design for our space and then came over to help with the finishing touches and to welcome the press at our opening cocktail. Our space was vibrant, cosy and it inspired our visitors to say: “Wow, I want my space to look like this”
The event was very successful with several of hundred visitors each day and we have nothing but praise on Mette’s job. She is a pleasure to be with, work with and she is always inspiring company.”

Mette Heiberg, Chief Executive, TvPeople
“TvPeople has been delighted to corporate with Mette. Mette was in charge of designing and styling old and loved cars on our TV production about car styling. It was a challenging task as Mette had to work closely with the 4 mechanics that had a very traditional view on car styling. Mette was so convincing in her designs and her negotiation skills that the mechanics, the design team and the production team worked together and the result was 6 fantastic cars.”

Chris Head, CEO, The Meningitis Research Foundation
"Mette Mitchell has been involved with the Meningitis Research Foundation since her daughter contracted the disease at 4 months old in 2006 and she sought information and support from our Helpline Team. As a result of her daughter becoming ill, Mette has been a volunteer for the charity since 2008 and has been involved in a number of activities including giving Awareness Talks, manning Awareness Stalls and attending cheque presentations. She has also been a passionate and articulate media representative for the charity during our National Awareness Week in September where she has talked on numerous occassions about her family’s experience of the disease and the impotance of being aware of the signs and symptoms to local papers, radio and television news channels. In 2011 she spoke movingly to a group of supporters and politicians about meningitis and Miko’s survival at the House of Parliament to support ’Meningitis Matters’. This day involved members lobbying their local MP’s to ensure that meningitis and septicaemia remain a top public health priority in the light of forthcoming NHS reforms. Mette is a valued volunteer for the charity with her strong communication and organisational skills and will be a huge loss for the Communication Team in particular when she relocates later this year”.
