About Our Team

Dedicated. Creative. Energetic.

Cheryl Russell

Principal, Marketing Master, Designer, Cheerleader

If I’m not doing something creative – graphic design, ceramics, painting, photography – I’m probably riding my bike around town, perhaps headed to Mod to grab an iced mocha and hang out with friends. (Galveston / Houston)

Proposal Queen

When I’m not writing proposals or managing marketing projects, I’m in my sewing room or chasing a bull dog off the couch. But more likely in the sewing room drinking mass quantities of coffee—and thinking. (Houston)
