Many more beautiful stories to share with you all this year

19/12/2025

Today we say goodbye to Anna, who has been a huge part of James Russ Studio for the past 15 years. She walked through our doors at 19 years old and has grown into an incredible creative, problem-solver, organiser, maker, mentor and all-round essential human in our space.

From award-winning lighting projects to last-minute challenges, installs and many of cups of coffee, Anna has been there through it all. Her care, talent and dedication have shaped so much of who we are today.

We’re incredibly grateful for everything she has brought to the studio over the years, and while we’re sad to see her go, we’re excited to see what this next chapter holds for her.

Thank you, Anna - for the work, the loyalty, the energy and the heart. You’ll always be part of the JRS story ✨
