Bio
Sean Brice
While I never worked directly with Russell, I always noticed his dedication to any project he was on. He would go above the call of duty to make sure that he delivered a strong product. I firmly believe that Russell would do great with any task given to him.
Josh Vito
Together, Russ and I worked effectively and efficiently to complete multiple short deadline projects, in a team environment, with high quality, polished outcomes. While working on a team with Russ, I always felt less stressed and more confident in our finished product. He is an enthusiastic idea generator, compelling artist, and he understands that the "devil is in the details!" (quote from <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/angela-love/2/263/615"> A. Love</a>)
