Before Fame

Made up of David and Stephen St. Russell, they met in high school and have been together since 2008. They moved to Boston in 2011 and, after facing rising rents, decided to buy their first home, which sparked their interest in DIY renovation projects. Stephen is an architectural designer by trade and lends a professional touch to their work, while David focuses on project management and design details. They created their account in March 2017.
