Scott Olling’s Summary

I am an experienced art director working mainly in editorial and advertising print media, with both non-profit and for-profit organizations.

In my experience, people do their best work in a community of respect and engaging challenge. I help create workplaces where people want to work, and where people believe in the work they do.

In those workplaces, I collaborate with the team I assemble to translate ideas into visual language.

I work with the people in marketing, who provide data about the audience, and with the people in both editorial and ownership, who have the message in mind.

Together, we clarify and focus the message.

Then I find and direct designers, illustrators and photographers to place that message before different audiences in different media.

My work with non-profit organizations centers on clarifying development strategies and providing marketing support.
