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)

Gina Richardson
Sales, Support, Event Photographer
I do everything. Well, I might not do everything but I make sure they do everything. I find people who need our work and let them talk to people who know stuff. I build, fix, and organize things. I make sure we have an endless supply of silly string. Oh, and I take pictures. (Houston / Galveston)

Jeff Baker
Director of Cat Herding (Programmer)
I write code. I fix code. I don’t smile nor act silly. I live with 2 grown children, 4 not-grown grandchildren, a wife, countless animals (I seriously lost count), and I’ve not seen my sanity in months. But I code good. (Dallas / Arlington)

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)
