Scott Richardson is the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Richardson Design, a studio dedicated to creating places where people want to be. For more than three decades, he has helped clients in sports and leisure, cultural attractions, hospitality, restaurants, and retail translate their brand stories into environments that spark connection and deliver remarkable experiences.
Scott champions a design culture that fuses insight, innovation, and storytelling to elevate how people experience place—whether it’s a stadium club redefining the fan experience, a resort capturing the essence of its destination, or a retail concept making a brand feel unmistakably alive.
His aesthetic is rooted in modern simplicity, authenticity, and craft, with a deep understanding of how design shapes emotion and behavior. A collaborative and strategic leader, he ensures each project reflects the client’s goals while creating experiences that invite people to visit, gather, and return.
Under his guidance, Richardson Design partners with forward-thinking clients to create spaces that are not only visually striking but also intuitive, memorable, and distinctly on-brand.
