Mitch Paone is the creative director of New York and Chamonix-based creative agency DIA Studio. DIA Specializes in corporate and cultural visual identity systems, graphic design, and typography. DIA’s signature use of motion and generative tools has led to significant collaborations with clients such as Squarespace, Balenciaga, Pinterest, Nike, Saint Laurent, Apple, and many more. Additionally, Mitch lectures and leads workshops at conferences and universities worldwide. Most notably, Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL), Pratt Institute and the School for Visual Arts in New York.

Mitch recently held positions at Haute école d’art et de design – Genève (HEAD – Genève) and The Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK). In his courses, he implemented DIA’s creative process into the academic curriculum, specifically focusing on motion and generative tools in a graphic design context.
