Thanks for being here!

Scout Studio & Co. is owned and operated by me, Krista Connolly. I am a working mom, have the greatest husband, an amazing 17 year old son and a sweet, 9 year old goldendoodle named Scout. About 5 years ago, we moved from Northern California, where I have lived my entire life, to beautiful Lake Oswego, Oregon. I love to be in nature...walking or hiking...love sparkling water and Peets coffee...love to entertain...love to garden, watch HGTV and crime shows and love the ocean but not laying out on the beach.

I have been working as a Designer in the Graphic Design field for over 20 years. After working as a Designer and Art Director in Creative Agencies throughout the Bay Area, I made the decision to start my own freelance Design & Branding studio in 2008. I absolutely love working as a freelance Designer because the types of projects I am able to work on vary tremendously. I am fortunate to be exposed to many different types of jobs and clients. Because of this, I have been able to grow tremendously as a designer and now I get to share all of my knowledge with you!
​
At Scout Studio & Co., I do not use pre-made templates and apply them to your business. I complete hours of research, gather ideas, and present multiple design concepts to you. We will work together to find just the right solutions for your business. I provide personalized attention every step of the way. This is the #1 reason why working with a professional Graphic Designer is so important. You will benefit from my experience and will receive individualized attention from me when working on your project. I provide the best approaches to helping your business grow through Design and Branding. I spend time researching your company and your competition. I carefully take your preferences into consideration and then develop a number of creative solutions to get your message across.

I am excited to meet you, ​hear about your ideas, your goals, and how I can help your business grow!!
