2014 ADDY Creative Director of the Year
Doug Bell, Kitchen Sink
For the past decade, Doug Bell has quietly lead the design team at Kitchen Sink Studios. And by quietly, we mean not so quietly. His enthusiasm and energy is infectious. We especially love it at 8 a.m. on Monday mornings.
Doug’s work ethic is inspiring. The environment he helps cultivate is nurturing. And his industry expertise is annoying. The guy knows a little bit about everything. And he uses that knowledge to push Kitchen Sink’s projects to new levels. Designer. Family man. Outdoorsman. He’s the person you’d actually want to be stuck on a deserted island with, ensuring you’ll survive. He brings that same toolset to our drawing tables, since he’s quick to problem solve and delegate. Keeping up with Doug is exhausting. But we think his leadership and humble guidance make him one hell of a Creative Director.
