About

Jocelyn Scears

Graphic Designer + Brand Manager

Hello! My name is Jocelyn and I am the senior graphic design manager in the marketing department of the nation's leading privately held building materials supplier. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design and Illustration and an Associate's degrees in Multimedia Programming, Simulation & Gaming and Computer Information Systems.

I am also a multidisciplinary artist and published illustrator working professionally as a graphic designer for more than 13 years. I am based in the Pittsburgh area where I have had the pleasure of working with both local and national brands in a variety of industries, mediums, and capacities.

Since I was young, I've had a passion for creating. I have fond memories of spending hours creating layouts and designs on our family computer – honing my graphic design skills before I even knew what graphic design was or that it would become my future career.
