A LITTLE ABOUT ME

As you have figured out, I’m Scott. I have been working as a graphic designer, design manager, creative project manager, and/or art director since 2010, when I was hired for my first freelance project during my final year in college.

I'VE BEEN IN THE DESIGN INDUSTRY FOR A WHILE

After I received my degree in Graphic Design, I got two part-time jobs - both graphic design - one for a broadcasting company and the other for a marketing company. Eventually, the marketing company brought me on full-time, where I worked as the lead designer for over six years until I was laid off. A few months later, my biggest client from that job offered me a job because they missed the quality and service I provided. I took their offer, which moved my family and me from Eugene, Oregon, to the Denver metro area.

A year after I was hired by that company, I was laid off for financial reasons, so my family moved back to Eugene to be closer to family. At this point in my career, I'm looking for my next job after being laid off from my most recent position.

I FREELANCE

A few years into my job at the marketing company, I decided I wanted to push myself creatively and further my career in graphic design. I started by focusing on logo and branding design and sharing my work through social media and my website. Eventually, I revisited a style I had worked on during school, which I call Iconoflage (view here). This particular niche grabs people’s attention and the freelance work I'm hired to do the most.

This style combines my interest in branding with my enjoyment of drawing. I get to tell a story through many little illustrations, creating a unique connection with the audience.

Needless to say, I am continuing to work on this along with illustrative branding design to provide a full visual identity package service that includes the logo(s), branding collateral, and Iconoflage® designs as one massive project.

I HAVE A FAMILY

If I’m not working, I’m spending time with my family. My wife and I have been best friends since high school, and we got married in 2011 and now have an 8-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son.

I’M LOOKING FOR A JOB WHERE I CAN BE PART OF A COLLABORATIVE TEAM

My ultimate goal is to find a job where I can work as part of a creative team. I have experience working solo and as part of a team, including guiding designers under me. While working on my own can produce work quickly, from my experience, the best results come from multiple inputs, not just one.

If you are interested in hiring someone who works hard and smart, continually looks for ways to improve, and enjoys working with his peers, please get in touch with me.

Until then,
Cheers!
