A History Of Design Pickle

Back in 2014, Russ Perry, our CEO & Founder, found himself as creative consultant and had a large volume of straightforward but time-consuming design requests.

By trying to solve this problem, he found a uniquely simple and easy to execute way to deliver high-quality graphic design to his clients.

Having to scratch his own itch, he knew something had to be done. A few flowcharts and off-the-shelf SAAS tools later, Design Pickle had a foundation—streamlining clients into a system to manage and execute their graphic design requests.

Come December 2014, he read the 7 Day Startup and literally had a lightbulb moment: What if he let other people use his design system?

BOOM! No less than three weeks later, Design Pickle was born, and the rest is history.

Fast forward to 2020, Design Pickle now sits as the #1 flat-rate and graphic design service in the world.

We execute thousands of requests a week for clients all over the globe, delivered by our amazing full-time design team (who are also from all around the globe!).

Here's a picture of our team's very first annual company meeting in 2015. When we started, we were a close-knit team of 15 who got to meet in person.

Fast forward to a few years later - this is what the team looked like in 2018!

This was taken during our Pickle Con in the Philippines. Even some folks from the United States were able to join in on the learning and fun. If you zoom in, you’ll find them near the center of the photo!

And here are some of our Production Team folks over in Mexico!
