Available to hire
Hi, I’m Patrick McLane, an educator and designer based in Scranton, PA, with a passion for illustration, branding, and motion graphics. I bring decades of experience in agencies, education, and curriculum development to help students and clients tell compelling visual stories.
I enjoy guiding students in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and After Effects, while exploring concept-driven illustration and visual storytelling. When I’m not teaching, I work as a designer and creative director, shaping branding, campaigns, and curricula, and collaborating on cross-disciplinary projects to bring ideas to life.
