Creative Director

Scott’s always thinking about what’s next. He followed the river down from St. Louis last year to join the Loyola Design team, where he teaches Typography, Junior Studio and Senior Capstone. He brings a wealth of knowledge from the professional side, working for agencies and running his own studio for decades. When Scott’s not creatively directing in The Collective, you might find him digging through the recycled bin for colorful pages to overprint on, checking out estate sales in this city with more hidden memorabilia than you might imagine, or rooting for his newfound teams the Saints and Pelicans.
