About -

Hi. I’m Scott.

I’m a writer and maker of digital things. I’m into content strategy, UX, and front end web design. I’ve written plenty of poems and papers. I teach people about words and stories. I solve cryptic crosswords and content conundrums. I’m bananas for le mot juste. Sometimes I pontificate about the psyche.

Check out my LinkedIn profile for info about my degrees and work experience.

Follow me on Twitter to see what I’m up to.

I’ve published these things:
