About
Hey there, my name is Scott.
I'm a Creative Director, 3D Artist & Sculptor based in Whitefish, Montana.
I have over 25 years of experience in commercial arts, which has given me plenty of time to explore a wide range of creative disciplines. I can offer services across creative/art direction, 3D modeling, motion graphics, VFX, digital art, illustration, Python/JavaScript scripting, graphic design, and more.
I started in traditional art as a youth, which transitioned into a career in graphic design. From there, an insatiable curiosity and a persistent drive to solve problems brought me across the spectrum — eventually working on animations for National Geographic and 3D visualizations for Supra and Moomba boats.
That same curiosity led me back to working with my hands. I now create bronze sculptures through the lost-wax casting process, bringing the same eye for form and detail from my digital work into something you can hold. The two practices feed each other in ways I never expected.
These traits carry into my personal life as well — a love of working with people has led me to guide fishing trips in the mountains of Wyoming and race sailboats to Alaska.
Curiosity is my superpower. I take pride in a strong work ethic, being an excellent teammate, and finding creative solutions a client didn't even know were possible. I always strive to make sure the work I create surpasses the goals of its intended use. If you have an idea you'd like to talk about, don't hesitate to reach out.
