Bio
Kevin Yanes
Working under Scott was one of the best experiences in my career. I was so incredibly happy to work under someone who's design abilities are so refined, vast, and awesome. More than anything I loved the fact that when it came to the game he always pushed the idea that making something fun was more important than anything else. He was always focused making sure that every component of the project reiterated his goal of fun trumps all. I am a better designer because of Scott and the Saints Row franchise is better because of him. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat because I know whatever he works on will be an outstanding product.

Scott knows exactly what he wants and is very good at conveying it in a useful way. He's also very open to new ideas and has no problem telling you exactly what he thinks of them, good or bad. He knows what's fun and understands well the process of iteration.
