EP 080 - Ross Kimbarovsky founded and is the CEO at crowdspring, where more than 220,000 experienced freelancers help agencies, small businesses, entrepreneurs, and non-profits with high-quality custom logo design, web design, graphic design, product design, and company naming services. Crowdspring has worked with the world’s best brands, including Amazon, LG, Starbucks, Microsoft, Barilla, Philips, and also with many of the world’s best agencies – and tens of thousands of entrepreneurs, startups, and non-profits. Before founding crowdspring, Ross practiced law for 13 years as a successful trial attorney. Ross enjoys cycling, tennis, and other fun outdoor activities with his family (especially when global pandemics don't make those activities dangerous). Fun fact: there's a rumor that Ross left his law practice in 2007 to found crowdspring so that he could wear shorts to work. That rumor is true.
