For 22 years, Scott Truitt has been designing corporate identities and branded environments, primarily for retail. Scott’s career began as a draftsperson/designer for Clark Productions, a design/build firm specializing in retail display fixtures and trade show booths. From there, he moved to Planet Retail Studios, a small Seattle firm specializing in the design of prototype retail stores. Serving as a Designer, Project Manager, and eventually Design Director of Planet Retail Studios, Scott designed new prototype designs for a wide variety of retailers, from small start-ups like Wizards of the Coast and InMotion Pictures, to national and international retailers such as Office Depot, Miller Brewing Company, and Cartier Jewelers.
In 2002, Planet Retail Studios merged with MulvannyG2 Architecture, the third largest Architectural firm in Washington State, and 11th largest in the United States. Scott spearheaded the re-branding of the studio to become 5IFTH FLOOR, where he served as Concept Director, expanding his work in Brand Development and Prototype Retail Design for such clients as Costco Wholesale and Nike, and professional sports teams such as the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks, as well as a host of smaller regional companies.
In 2004 Scott began his own consulting practice, adjusting the business model of a design consultancy to offer a more flexible range of Brand Strategy and Design services to a broader range of clientele and expanding on his own, unique form of people-centric branding.
