Bio
Sam Flaherty
I've known Scott and followed his creative career for nearly 10 years now, and he has never failed to inspire those around him, deliver great work and guide me in my own endeavors. Scott is a true creative mind; from inception to completion, be it visual design, toy-making, project management or a myriad of creative ventures, his approach is one of dedication, attention to detail and perfection of craft. It is a pleasure to recommend Scott, and I hope that our professional association will continue for years to come.
Tracey Gardner
It was such a privilege to be taught, mentored and lead by Scott during my time as a student and tutor at Otago University, Design Studies. Scott is very knowledgeable, dedicated and committed to his teaching practice. I have always found Scott’s teaching and lectures full of depth, of high quality, motivating and inspirational. Scott has a real talent for communicating information, both complex and mundane, with passion, rigour and innovation. Scott is also a very talented designer and illustrator, whose work is produced at a very high standard due to his acquired knowledge, attention to detail, care and consideration. On a personal note Scott is pragmatic, encouraging, supportive and full of wisdom. If there was ever another opportunity to work alongside Scott I would be more than happy to do so.
