It was back in 2004 that Casper and I started Spoiled Milk while both living in the UK. Of course in those days we were more concerned with making short films or producing flyers for our friends’ bands, but the seeds had been sown for the company that exists today. Now, nearly five years later, we are supplying a broad range of fantastic clients with our design, technology and strategic services from offices in both Copenhagen and Zürich. The journey has been a tremendous experience and I speak for everyone, new and old, when I say that we’re all very proud of what we have achieved together so far. I think the greatest aspect of this company has been the chance to meet and work with so many interesting, talented and friendly people.

So, my recent decision to move away from full-time duties has been a difficult one to make. The reasons are simply that I need to take a break. After devoting so much of my time and energies to Spoiled Milk over the years, it’s important to me that I take some time out now – an extended sabbatical if you like – to work on some other projects and explore other interests.

This doesn’t mean I am leaving completely. I will remain a member of the board of directors, as well as assuming the new role of Technical Consultant. Our Zürich-based technologist Christian Vollenweider will take over the Technical Director duties and continue steering the ship along with David, Casper, Frederik and the rest of the team.

There are many exciting times ahead for Spoiled Milk as we enter the next phase of our development. We are no longer the new upstarts on the scene, but now find ourselves as an established part of the web, design and creative markets. We will strive to continue building on this story, while still promoting our core values in usability, intuitiveness and feeling.

Speak soon!

Russell.
