About Josh K. Russakis
I\'m committed to building a career in service to promoting Baltimore City\'s prosperity. Currently I\'m contributing to this mission through the local innovation and startup ecosystem by funneling and retaining young professional talent to the city\'s promising startups (for-profit and non-profit).I\'m an avid maker and industrial design enthusiast. I believe that through ethical, sustainable, and innovative design, we can build a better quality of life and a better future for ourselves. I aim to dismantle the prevailing culture of waste and needless replacement through thoughtful design that reduces our impact on the planet, build more durable consumer products, and teach users to connect more with their products and invest in their longevity.
