Hey there! I’m Scart—though some folks still know me as Snapies (a nickname I earned back in 2007 for snapping way too many photos in milliseconds). I’m a visual storyteller, design nerd, and photography junkie with a soft spot for dramatic lighting, quirky street scenes, and beautiful type.
I love hitting the road with a camera in hand—capturing people, places, and still-life moments that most folks might miss. One of my life goals? Visit all 50 U.S. states and document the wild, weird, and wonderful along the way.
Before landing in Chicago, I racked up years of experience in corporate design, publication work, and advertising. These days, I’m still in love with page layout and kerning (yes, I’m that person). Vector graphics? I’ll do them—but my heart belongs to clean grids and balanced type.
I started out as a Computer Layout Artist in the Philippines, learning tools like CorelDRAW, PageMaker, and Photoshop from the ground up. Since then, I’ve leveled up to Adobe Creative Suite and still get excited when I learn a new shortcut or trick.
What fuels me? Watching fellow creatives bring mind-blowing ideas to life. That kind of magic keeps me reaching higher. My mission is simple: use design to bring ideas to life and help small businesses look like the big deal they are.
"Creativity is intelligence having fun." – Albert Einstein
Let’s make something awesome together. If you're into bold visuals, good type, and a sprinkle of wanderlust—I'm your person.
