    Partner - Creative Director

    Russell, after finishing his design degree from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, has been working as a senior designer on national campaigns for over 15 years – he is truly a creative product of the progressive political movement and is probably most recognized for the work he did for the Obama campaign in 2008.  His passion lies in the discovery and appreciation of art and history.  Working and living in the beautiful City of Chicago has only bolstered his love of design and culture.  In his spare time, Russell enjoys collecting and refurbishing secondhand treasures, geeking out over basketball, and enjoying living in the Historic Pullman neighborhood with his awesome wife, Lisa.
