• Gallusness is the alias for the portfolio and studio of Scott MacMichael an award winning graphic designer and sometime illustrator 
    based in central Scotland. With over 9 years industry experience working both in creative agencies and independently.

    My passion is for ideas driven creative that is effective, engaging and aspires to be more than the sum of its parts.

    Away from 'work' I like to stay active playing a variety of sports (some better known than others) and seeking out future inspiration.
    Notable interests include; rock-it-ball (a cross between dodge ball and la crosse), the on-going competing in adventure races,
    and running generally. As well as attending monthly burlesque life drawing classes, adding to an ever increasing list of films watched/
    gigs attended and good books read (recommendations on any of those fronts warmly welcomed). 

    If you have a project or collaboration opportunity in mind you think I might be able to help you with, please feel free to get in touch.
