Designing Great Products and Exploring the Future
Russ Strong’s passion is innovation — leveraging engineering, technical design, industrial styling, architectural design and art, and connections Built across wide ranging programs.
Russ enjoys bringing his experience and creativity into the mix with other talented Creatives, whether with clients of his design firm, Integrated Vision, or collaborative exploration of ideas with others, or with Integrated Vision’s own “outside the box” projects.
The Russ initiative is about expanding innovation on a number of fronts. This includes mentoring young people; those starting their careers, those coming into the “power band” of their careers, and those maybe yet figuring out where to apply their creative talents.
