Episode 9
Scott Mellor aka Loston is a graphic artist, a musician, and runs his own design studio called the Studio Thinktank where he has worked with some of the biggest names in the world including Labrinth, Cardi B and Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave.
Scott’s based in Perth Australia and I first stumbled upon his work as a musician - only to later find out that he had more than creative facades. So having a chat with him for an episode was only the natural way to feed my curiosity to understand how he works as a multi disciplinary creative - as well as building his own business around his interests. We dug deep on his creative process, how he tackles multiple creative acts at the same time, and his personal journey.
