About Peter
Hello, I’m Peter Scott, a creative designer and illustrator based in Glasgow. I make brands look good, feel human, and work brilliantly across digital and print.
I create user-first digital experiences and brand identities with a focus on clarity, structure, and strong visual communication. My process is practical and considered, and I use illustration to help brands communicate with more personality, precision, and visual impact.
I’ve worked with organisations of all sizes from small independents to global brands across sectors including travel, arts and culture, food and drink, education, charity, automotive, entertainment, and professional services. My work spans websites, campaigns, branding, packaging, exhibition and print, always with a focus on craft and creative thinking that delivers results.
