Brian Scholl

Brian, a seasoned designer and creative entrepreneur, grew up in a small town in northern Nebraska, where canoeing the rivers sparked a lifelong passion for exploration. This spirit inspired the iconic Adventure Studios logo, a symbol of his journey and creative drive.

To this day, his canoe rests by the northwoods studio, ready for a quick paddle with his dogs. With nearly 40 years of experience in design, illustration, and digital production, Brian’s career began after graduating from the Colorado Institute of Art in the 1980s, focusing on design and visual storytelling. Early on, he worked with illustrators, design firms and agencies producing ad design and product packaging, mastering marker renderings and airbrush illustration for national ad campaigns. His expertise in blending artistic flair with production details continues to shape his work.

In the early 1990s, Brian joined an Omaha-based design firm, eventually becoming a partner and later its owner. His career pivoted when an early internet provider commissioned a logo, launching him into web design and the world of advanced production code languages, servers, and databases. This enabled him to deliver cutting-edge design solutions through emerging digital platforms, blending traditional skills with digital innovation. In the early 2000's, Brian sold his company and founded Adventure Studios with his partner Kathryn, transforming a 1920s carriage garage into a high-tech creative hub. From this "iGarage," they embraced remote work, collaborating with clients worldwide at all hours, delivering projects ranging from web and mobile applications to brand identity and all things design.

Brian’s journey reflects a relentless drive to create impactful solutions, leveraging the same tools, talents, and passion that have defined his career for nearly four decades. Adventure's motto, “Discover More, Learn to Explore,” embodies the commitment to pushing creative boundaries and delivering exceptional results for clients globally. The iGarage remains a vibrant hub where creatives stop by to share stories, discuss projects, and browse the studio’s library of vintage Graphis, Communication Arts, and Print magazines. They often contribute their own publications, inspiring the younger creators to flip through the pages and exclaim, “That’s the best headline ever!” The studio houses a remarkable collection of tools spanning Brian’s 40-year career, from tools from the "Mad Men Era" to the latest design and camera equipment, all working in harmony. At the heart of the space, 1960s Hamilton Stratasteel drafting tables, timeless in their design, continue to power modern design equipment, bridging past and present in every project.

Step into the iGarage today, and you’ll see the creative process in full swing—projects ranging from an oil painting to a JavaScript animation being crafted and tested on the latest mobile phones, a testament to the studio’s ability to blend timeless artistry with cutting-edge technology.
