Russell Design
Russell Design is an exceptionally talented design studio. They spcialize in environmental and print, as well as web, design, and do some very tight and compelling work.

They wanted to redesign their website and needed a way to easily keep it up to date. They came to me to integrate my CMS and to build their website. We included some fun and interesting interactive elements, as well, without the use of Flash.

They were a pleasure to work with, both personally, and professionally.

Brian Collins
Brian Collins, titan of design and branding, led the brand and innovation division at Ogilvy & Mather for almost a decade, working with such iconic businesses as Unilever, Kraft, Mattel, Motorola, AT&T, Coca-Cola and American Express. He's a big-shot.

He also has a soul. And with that soul he works to help make the world a better place. Through "Designism: Design for Social Change," an annual forum to inspire young creative people to take active roles in social causes, and other organizations, he puts his time and expertise in on big-ticket issues.

He wanted a website, a blog, to give himself a venue for discussion and exposure of issues. He tapped RED to fulfill that desire. RED in turn brought me in. I pointed them in the direction of a Wordpress blog. As it is open-source it was easily customizable to suit Brians needs.

UNIFEM
"UNIFEM is the women's fund at the United Nations. It provides financial and technical assistance to innovative programmes and strategies to foster women's empowerment and gender equality."

They brought me in to help them invigorate their online presence and bring it more up to date. I brought in Sam and Stuart from RED as designers, as I knew their experience in the world of non-profit, and their keen sense of layout and design, would help deliver just the right thing.
