I am an extremely detail-oriented creative individual. No, seriously!
I know they all say that, but I obsess over the details without getting lost in them.
“Working with Scott spoiled me. He's the basis for which I judge all other visual designers and creatives, and nobody ever matches up. I absolutely 100% recommend him. He has both talent, and the ability to both give and take constructive criticism. He thinks, and can listen, and can take what you ask for, and give you what you need. All while providing an extremely high level of quality work, and work ethic.“
Sayf Sharif“I've always admired professionalism, especially in the areas I have no chance of mastering. Scott's ability to create beautiful, functional and easy to use UI's is second to none.
His creativity and attention to detail has been a huge asset to our team. It has been extremely gratifying seeing concepts and ideas transform into a polished user experience that customers are excited about. Scott is a true professional, an all-around creative spirit and a great team player. I've truly enjoyed working alongside him and I hope our paths cross again in the future.“
Boris Gaber“In the course of a career, we each build a set of expectations about our colleagues, and we value those who meet those expectations. But every so often, we may be lucky enough to encounter that sort of person who so embodies excellence, that they don't just exceed those expectations, they challenge us to redefine them, and raise the bar for everyone else. Scott is one of those people.
His talent goes beyond the simple visual, to encompass all aspects of the user experience, so that instead of a system which merely looks attractive, he truly delivers that blend of form and function that serves the full need of the client. And he does it while bringing a fun, intelligent, and engaging presence to the team that few can match. When it comes to user experience, there are few who can match what Scott can and will deliver, and none with whom I would prefer to work.“

Supported the UX team to bring cohesion to a legacy monolithic software suite (internal); that leveraged multiple front-end technologies.
Hired as a visual designer to create Photoshop mockups for the upcoming SDK design, but quickly noticed a void between the back-end developers and the UX Team that could be addressed.
I took the initiative to download, install, and learn MS Silverlight and MS Visual Studio so that I could create a style guide using the core native controls instead of visual mockups of them. I created a new role for myself, which allowed me to design the entire SDK/UI design within the development stream in real-time with a “live” style guide.
I designed the application framework & SDK for developers to migrate existing web applications. Styled and themed entire custom interface utilizing core Silverlight controls as well as third-party controls from Telerik and Infragistics.
Worked with various small and large clients, two of the larger being Amadeus travel systems in Waltham, MA, and RSA Security in Burlington, MA.
Most projects consisted of prototypes and mockups of visual design directions accompanied by asset creation to support the project developers.
