EDITOR/MOTION GRAPHICS
Scotty Swemba
Has always had a thing for DeLoreans. And punk rock. Considered himself a vagabond, content to go where life led him – including two tours in Iraq as an infantry combat medic and a 14-city tour as a bass player. Did the band’s album art (plus stickers, posters, shirts), and discovered design had been his thing all along (thanks to an uber-cool art teacher). Turned to motion graphic design and now makes things look “pro.” Vagabond no more, he’s fully domesticated with a wife, kids, pets and a mortgage. Plans his vacays around WrestleMania and The Fest. Is a self-proclaimed YouTube superstar. Digs: Mountain Dew, Red Bull, PBR (the gentleman’s drink), button-down shirts, sweet kicks.
