Phil Scopp

Phil graduated from the University of Illinois School of Art & Design in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. After graduation
he landed in Atlanta, Georgia at a small shop where he learned the ins-and-outs of the design business from the
ground up. After a few years, and confident in the experience he gained, he went freelance, gradually working his
way up to larger clients and contracts.

He then had on-staff stints at Corporate Reports and Wages Design, well-known Atlanta area studios developing investor
relations publications, and high-level brand identity.

Phil then founded Creative R&D, a small design studio specializing in creative communications for small companies
and corporations.

After many fulfilling years he was hired by the internal marketing and branding organization at CheckFree Corporation,
which was bought by Fiserv several years later. There he was part of the in-house team that provided a multitude of
communications tools to many stakeholders in their FinTech world – sales, corporate, business units, investor relations,
advertising, internal comms, HR, etc. – as well as debuting a new brand for the company.

Phil left the company in 2017 to go back on his own, now providing enterprise-level creative assets for small to mid-size
businesses. As a freelancer, he develops challenging and fulfilling projects for agencies/studios as well as directly with larger companies.

Resumé

Recommendations

Phil is a detail-oriented designer and artist who strikes the perfect balance between design and functionality

–   SaaS Solutions Consultant

I have known Phil as a contractor, competitor, collaborator, advisor and friend. He continues to have an eye
for what will work in business, in design and in technology. Although Phil is capable of doing splashy,
award-winning graphic design, his work is not driven by fad or fashion. He has a sixth sense for the 'soul' of his
client and his intended audience. For that reason, his work always looks contemporary and relevant. Phil has a
great sense of humor, which enlightens his design as well as his personal relationships. I recommend Phil highly.
His business insight and vision will be obvious to anyone who looks at his work.
