CREATIVE DIRECTOR | TECHNOLOGY & DIGITAL INNOVATION

Todd Scrutchfield

In 2009, I conceived something no concert audience had ever experienced: a projection-mapped world that made 50,000 people gasp in unison. That moment taught me what technology exists for.

I have spent my career ensuring creative vision survives contact with reality. Two decades later, I continue to bridge the gap between impossible creative concepts and flawless technical execution.

About

Creative director who has spent two decades making impossible moments real for Samsung, Apple, Disney, and Microsoft. My signature: environments and experiences that stop audiences cold—conceived with the technical precision that guarantees they actually happen.

I have directed immersive brand activations, led creative teams through high-stakes productions, and built the emerging technology pipelines (XR, virtual production, AI-driven experiences) that define the next era of brand experiences.

The difference is simple: I do not hand off creative intent to technologists. I am both, and the work is better for it.
