TESTIMONIALS
Don't take my word for it
Scott’s exceptional brand products and collaborative approach to bringing new initiatives to life quickly made him my preferred creative colleague to work with. He always spent the time to fully understand the goals of my team when beginning a new project and worked side-by-side with us to ensure he crafted the perfect brand promise, story, and tone. The innovative, unique and vibrant aesthetic of this ParagonLabs brand couldn’t have become what it has without Scott’s expertise and dedication to his customers.
Of all the immensely talented graphic designers I’ve worked with when it’s come to digital, few have ever been up to the challenge of interaction and responsive design the way Scott is. As a designer, he has an eye for functionality the way some people often tell me as a developer I have an eye for design. He doesn’t stop at the easy solution, and champions a fresh, impactful aesthetic on every pixel, rev after rev. I hope to work with Scott again!
Scott is more than a designer, he’s a marketer and communications expert who understands how to translate messages into action. My organization and campaigns were better by ten fold because of Scott’s ability to understand how to translate our message into visual assets. During our time together at SHRM and the SHRM Foundation, Scott led multiple design initiatives including the SHRM Foundation rebrand, launch of an annual fundraising campaign and our 50th anniversary celebration including fundraising programs and events. If you have the chance to work with Scott—DO IT. He’s a fantastic asset to any team!
Scott is a brand guru! When I had ideas or suggestions, we would go to the drawing board and he would bring the projects to life! As a marketer, I always enjoyed working with Scott because he would take the time to understand my ideas, concerns, or plans, and then he would come back with a design that checked all of the boxes and so much more! He continued to push the envelope with fresh ideas and was always my go-to when I needed to brainstorm new concepts or campaigns.
Scott is a talented and brilliant designer, especially when it comes to brand design. Scott is a fantastic collaborator and always offered insightful knowledge and a different perspective. I could always count on Scott to create something incredible and innovative. He not only has extensive brand knowledge, but also his print work is amazing. There were many times that I was inspired by something he created. If you are lucky enough to work with Scott, you are going to learn so much from him. He is kind and empathetic as well, and a great team player.
I can’t say enough good things about Scott. He inspired me by providing different perspectives to enable untapped creativity. His big picture ideas always elevated the project beyond my expectations—across any and all mediums. There is no doubt that he’s talented, but he is the most innovative, knowledgeable, and visionary designer I know when it comes to all things branding. His ability to build brands lends itself to creating a narrative for a company to enable digital storytelling. And, the strategic vision behind his work is just one reason any project with Scott is bound to be great!
I had the pleasure of working with Scott at the SHRM. He was the brand manager for SHRM certification and the SHRM Learning System (certification preparation). Scott is not only great at what he does—always suggested creative ideas to communicate our message and executed on these in such remarkable and visually-pleasing designs—but was also easy to work with. I appreciated his creativity, but also his practical approach (keeping with budget, etc.). It all made my job as a marketing professional much easier. I would count myself lucky if I had the opportunity to work with Scott again!
I had the pleasure to work with Scott on SHRM’s affiliated organization, HR People + Strategy. As a brand creative, Scott rebranded HRPS, now SHRM’s Executive Network, including all sub brands, membership collateral and all conference events—supporting executive membership growth while also receiving several Marcom awards along the way. I was always impressed with Scott’s creativity and design skills, and business acumen. Scott is a very disciplined and deadline-driven professional. He’s truly a team player and always goes above and beyond his responsibilities. Scott is an excellent professional, co-worker and adaptable person. I always enjoyed collaborating with Scott.
Scott is a talented, big picture creative thinker and design professional. He developed and refreshed our certification program and brand products annually, making it the staple marketing brand of SHRM’s certification revenue. I learned a lot from him about communicating and collaborating successfully across departments on the many campaigns we worked on across digital and print. Scott wants to see others win in all ways possible, and he’s patient to workshop with you to get there. Scott has a knack for making you appreciate his expertise while he supports yours. 10/10 would recommend!
