Seth, Designer
"Scot is one of the best managers I've worked with. He developed a great team culture, managed multiple projects and found balance between the flow of incoming project requests and team and time management. He's also a manager that is a great designer and is hands on when needed."
Nick, Designer
"I've worked with Scot for several years. As a copywriter, I feel confident whenever I work with him on projects, because I know that he understands the pivotal relationship between copy and design. Scot's design knowledge is first-rate and he brings a fresh perspective that adds a flare of innovation to even the most mundane projects, while he also implements a keen understanding of established principles. I think any company that uses him is fortunate to have such a talented and sharp individual whose engaging personality also makes him a true asset."

Michael, Producer
"In addition to being a huge creative talent, Scot is a burst of positive, collaborative and inspiring energy around the office. Scot is always moving forward imagining and creating cutting-edge concepts that resonate deeply with a young, hip, smart audience. I can only hope my future includes being Scot's colleague again. And again"
Margie, VP
"Scot is a patient, nurturing, and supportive supervisor, passionate about growing the skill-set of his team and himself. He often kept the integrity of projects grounded and focused, ensured that the quality of work going public was at its best quality, and managed expectations between the creative and executive teams well. I'm fortunate to have been mentored by such a talented and great guy."
Katia, Artist
"Scot was able to lead the art team through our difficult task and keep the project fun and exciting for everyone involved. The feeling of true collaboration on this project was unlike many projects of this level tend to have, and that was due to Scot's ability to communicate efficiently and his artistic leadership and direction. Due, in large part to Scot's leadership, we created something true to the original that has a new and unique feel and kept all the brand decision makers and clients happy. I hope that we have the opportunity to work with him again soon."
