HEY, I’m
\nRussell<\/h3>\n


\nI believe in the power of human creativity to change the world. That power includes using AI, but it still starts with an open sketchbook and a conversation about solving problems for individual people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most days, you’ll find me working at my studio on Hubbard Street. It’s the perfect place to ditch the distractions and start creating. <\/span><\/p>\n

Things People Say<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

“I worked with Russell on the Hello Howard campaign. Russell created a cohesive visual style that reflected our project goals. He helped us come up with a comprehensive campaign complete with an implementation plan. Russell is adept working with clients, interpreting their vision, and creating a final\u00a0product.“<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“We brought Russell on as a temporary contractor back in 2016, and he very quickly became an integral part of our design team. He instantly jelled with everyone, always engaging in thoughtful discussions and critiques. We came to rely on him for high-quality work\u2014from logos to overall branding to various types of digital and print collateral\u2014and he always worked with the utmost efficiency. He is always willing to lend a helping hand, put in more when needed to make a deadline, and deal with the unknown twists and turns of any project. He’s genuinely a good guy too, and working together is a lot of fun.“<\/span><\/p>\n

“Russell brings a great eye, creativity, and most importantly, passion to his work. It was a real change of pace to work with another professional who brought as much excitement and vision as we have here inside the business. I would not pass up the chance to work with Russell again.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I have worked with Russell Lord on many design projects over the past 10+ years. Two of the highlights were Sonneteer, and Safelight Photographic Supply\u2026 His integrity as a designer and as a co-worker have been rock steady. I always learn something when working with Russell and it’s a fun process too. Russell also did a heavy load of photographic retouching in my photography studio, image compositing, and the pre\/post production on various assignments for architects, interior designers, magazines, and other clients. So, yeah, you should work with him but leave him some time to still work with\u00a0me! 5 Stars.<\/span>”<\/p>\n
