Available to hire
Hello! I’m Robert Scrimgeour, an integrated designer and creative team lead based in Cape Town, South Africa. With a strong background in graphic design and a passion for innovation, I enjoy inspiring and guiding diverse teams to deliver exceptional design projects that align with brand guidelines and client needs. I thrive in fast-paced environments, managing multiple projects while maintaining high standards of creativity and quality.
Aside from my leadership, I love hands-on design work including illustration, branding, and 3D modeling. I’m continuously learning new skills like 3D modeling and printing for rapid prototyping, and I am motivated by finding creative solutions that open new services and possibilities for clients.
