Hi, I’m Scott
I design products where complexity meets clarity — simplifying systems, aligning teams, and delivering real business impact. Over 19 years, I’ve worked with brands like Cigna, ADWeek, the Clio Awards, PONY Sneakers, and Shinra Games, learning that solving complex problems starts with communication: asking the right questions, gathering key insights, and making decisions grounded in user research, technical constraints, and business goals.
I partner closely with clients, product, and engineering to turn messy, ambiguous problems into clear, actionable solutions. My approach blends strategy, vision, and design execution, ensuring solutions not only look great but also achieve measurable outcomes.
Teaching Design
In addition to my work as a designer, I spent a few years teaching courses at BrainStation, a leading digital skills company. Guiding students through design courses has not only been fulfilling but has also enriched my perspective and growth as a designer. I specialized in Design Thinking and User Experience but I also taught User Interface Design as well.
Illustration
Who knew that designing flyers for underground punk and hardcore shows would have lead to a career in product design? I got my start as a graphic designer and designed flyers for clubs all around NYC back in the early 2000’s. These days you can catch me working on illustrations and gig posters in my spare time.
Sometimes Things Get Away From You
Did you miss some insight along the way? Did you talk to the right people? Maybe there is a tech limitation you didn’t know about. I’m passionate about using the design thinking process to solve design challenges. It all starts with Empathy, seeing the world through the eyes of your users and stakeholders so that you can discover the needs, pain points, and goals of the project together.
