I don’t just have a portfolio....I’ve lived in it. From wild prototypes to buttoned-up brand systems, my work speaks fluent human and knows how to hold a room. It’s not just about making things pretty, it’s about making things work, making them unforgettable, and making them matter.

 

I’m a builder. A craftsperson. I believe in rolling up my sleeves and getting in the dirt with the team. Strategy in one hand, pixels in the other. I’m here for the messy middle, the weird ideas, the late-night breakthroughs, and the magic that happens when people give a damn.

​

I’m Scott Ellis. A product guy, a design guy, I'm an artist, a fix-it-with-a-pocketknife-and-duct-tape guy. I’ve been in the trenches long enough to know what works, what doesn’t, and why most user experiences feel like lukewarm airline food. I build things that people actually want to use, I don’t need a 60-slide deck to explain why they work.

​

So if you’re looking for another buzzword-slinger, keep scrolling. But if you want someone who’ll challenge the brief, throw elbows in Figma, and still bring donuts to the morning stand-up....well I’m your guy.

I enjoy creating thoughtful digital and physical experiences, paying attention to the details that make a lasting impact. Learning from other creatives helps me see new perspectives and refine my work.
