Born and raised in Hawaii, Scott Na'auao always saw the world from a different point of view. His first teddy bear, "Rainbow Chevrolet", was named after a car dealership in Honolulu. His first art award, won in preschool, promoted reading at the library by illustrating Johnny 5, from the classic 80s movie Short Circuit, speeding through a shelf of library books while exclaiming "Need More Input!" It would take many, many years for him to realize that his early affinity for pop culture references would benefit his career as an art director, designer and animator.

Now, he is constantly looking outward for inspiration and challenges, absorbing details in everyday life—from a restaurant's chalkboard menu to the user interface of apps—and calculating the success of functional and artistic design.

He has received numerous accolades for his innovative work in the fields of graphic design, web design and motion graphics. Often driven by a clean aesthetic, he also appreciates flourish where it is well-planned and well-executed, and especially when it goes over-the-top. His portfolio is alive with work in a multitude of different media, all of which speak to Scott's ability to recognize and wield the strengths of these tools.

Scott resides in Hawaii with his wife Liane, where he works as Senior Designer for Wall-to-Wall Studios.

This bio was written by his wife who may not be impartial to him.

And yes, his last name really does have five vowels in a row. Read Less
