About

Shapes, colours, letters, ideas, and feelings. Trends will come and go; the zeitgeist shifts by the hour. But the building blocks of impactful creative stay the same. Make people see something. Make people think something. Make people feel something.

--

Scott is an international award-winning Design Director / Art Director originally from New Zealand, now based in Canada.

With over 13 years’ experience working in design, his work covers conceptual editorial design, brand design, advertising art direction, and everything that falls within.

That may be a lot of things, but whether it’s for waste management giants, a postpartum support house, stuffed-crust pizza, or a city of 1.5 million, he brings the same relentless hunt for the big idea and an emotional intelligence that leaves even the most complex subjects simple and full of feeling.
