About
I've worked in graphic design for more than 30 years as a designer, marketing leader, and educator. Today I split my time between teaching undergraduate design and running ScottCre8ive, my studio.

Teaching
I'm an adjunct professor of graphic design at Berkeley College, where I teach undergraduate graphic design and tools such as Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. I'm also adjunct faculty and a subject matter expert at Southern New Hampshire University's Global Campus, teaching undergraduate graphic design, typography, and Adobe Creative Cloud design software through Brightspace. Before that, I taught at Seton Hall University's College of Communication and the Arts from January 2022 to January 2024, including graphic design, advertising, web design, and graphic design history.
Studio practice
ScottCre8ive is my studio for graphic design, digital marketing, and marketing strategy. I also develop lectures and seminars for college students and offer mentoring and career coaching. From 2019 to 2022 I also wrote the Get A Good Start blog and hosted the Get A Good Start podcast. Both remain online as a legacy archive, and you can watch the podcast episodes in the YouTube archive.
Background
Before my current teaching roles, I spent years on the business side of design. At Investors Bank, I started as a graphic designer and later became Vice President and Director of Marketing, leading an 11-person communications and marketing team. I then served as Senior Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at The DSM Group. Earlier in my career, I ran a photo studio, worked as a designer and prepress consultant, and produced work for well-known retail and cultural brands. I hold a B.F.A. (1991) and an M.A. (2012) in Graphic Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
