Hi, I'm Scott
I’m a Boston raised brand and systems designer with 15 years of experience building clear identities, web experiences, and repeatable design ops. Through Pixel Nook Studio and Fast Forward Group, I’ve shipped end‑to‑end work across identity, packaging, and web. Since 2021 I’ve partnered with Fast Forward Group to streamline branding and create all designed deliverables across the business. My approach is calm, practical, and human. Clean type, strong hierarchy, and systems that scale.
I’m currently based in Indiana, where life is happily shared with my husband, Julius, and our dog, Nova.
My Career so far
I started at Black Ink in Boston in 2009, where precise merchandising taught me how simple design can make everyday things feel special. At Au Marché I moved into real design work; flyers and product labels. Then at Footprints I became GM and the in‑house designer, building the site, marketing emails, store materials, and an animated TV commercial.
I launched Pixel Nook Studio to handle brand identity, Webflow/Shopify, packaging, and print. I later opened Anomaly, a boutique built end‑to‑end from name and brand to packaging and in‑store experience, followed by Harbor Leaf Tea Co., a loose‑leaf tea brand with identity, e‑commerce, premium packaging, and high-end photography.
Since 2021 I’ve partnered with Fast Forward Group on launches, refreshes, and campaigns across web, print, and decks always aiming for a clear, and consistent brand identity. Most recently I created Laurel Editions, a modern wedding stationery studio, leading brand and voice, Shopify build, content, and art direction for the full collection.
