About

A creative director in both digital + print. Art Direction, design, editorial, branding, advertising, conceptual, publishing, film + video projects are my daily tasks. From concept through fulfillment. Inside my bag of tricks are fun items like critical thinking, branding, identity, promotional, and creatively inspired original work. Scott@5659design.com
