About
Who the hell is Scott Gladd?
Glad(d) you asked. I am a graphic designer, a brandsmith, an illustrator, a minimalist and a self-proclaimed typophile. I stand for not just how I work now but how I want to work long into the future. I give a personal guarantee that every decision I make, every recommendation I propose, and every design I create is always in the best interest of you and your brand.
My bedrock philosophy is simple – if you're not thinking about your brand, then neither will your customers. I believe in the power of brand identity. To tell you the truth, I really believe in it. Frankly, I’m sort of in love with it. Whether you’re a mom & pop or a Fortune 500, design is the face of your business and the foot you put forward. It makes your first impression and speaks volumes on your behalf. When you love what you do, it shows. From the quick project to the lengthy challenge, I believe nothing is routine and everything is an opportunity to shine. So pop open a Miller High Life (or a Coke if you’re on the wagon), take a look at my work, and get in touch. Let’s work on your image.

"Scott had performed exactly what his business pitch states...Developing a brand. In this case, it's a brand that will be worth remembering. Not only was the business experience nothing but professional, Scott had always promptly responded to whatever criticism or request had been made. He thought along the lines of what our team requested but at the same time thought to improve the potential meaning of the logo. Thank you Scott for the time and effort you have shown to make this logo a very good one."
:: Ramen Bar ::
"Scott clearly understood what my directions were and delivered each component to the logo perfectly and quickly. Without hesitation, I vigorously recommend Scott for any of your design needs and personally look forward to working with him on my future projects."
:: Jon Stocking, Owner of Republic of Pie ::
"Scott takes the time to understand your design needs and preferences, and his work is a complete representation of what you've asked for - only better! His professional insight and design experience really shines through. Highly recommended."
:: Brightwater Homes ::
"I can't say enough about the overall experience working with Scott. Right out of the gate, Scott understood our needs and submitted what almost turned out to be the final design. However, working with Scott throughout the time period, we were able to craft a logo through modifications that couldn't be better than what we set out to accomplish! He was extremely professional, spot on with any requests made, and very enthusiastic throughout."
:: Will Nicolls, Flynn's Pub ::
"Scott has an excellent eye for design, and is a pleasure to work with. He listens to his client's feedback, and does a great job of implementing the client's wishes, while not losing the creative edge that makes him so successful. I look forward to working with him again in the future!"
:: Kelly Kwieciniski, City Sprout ::
"Scott's clear understanding of our design objectives and his sharp eye for turning those into a visual presentation created an elegant and simple design that is versatile, youthful yet sophisticated, modern but still comfortably approachable, clean, and pleasing all at the same time. Outstanding work!"
