Dan Gavin, Designer & Developer at Scout Branding Company

Dan hails from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He spent most of his childhood and high school years playing soccer and drawing.

After making a difficult life decision whether to play soccer for no one (he is actually an all state defender) or attend Pratt Institute, Dan was off to New York to explore design school and that famous NY pizza. Dan is a graduate of Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY where he received a BFA in Graphic Design. After finishing school he continued working for a private label fashion company, until he relocated to Alabama.

Dan has spent the past year working on a project in Greensboro, AL called PieLab. PieLab was born out of a Project M session by a group of graphic designers and is founded on the idea that simple things, like delicious pie and good conversation, can bring us together and spread joy.

Dan loves interactive and exploring the possibilities of WordPress. His web skills include: Flash, xml, html, php, and MySQL. He also enjoys designing for print projects and is fascinated with newsprint. While not at Scout, Dan enjoys fixed gear bikes, short walks on the beach, and typography.
