Global Creative Director of Converse Footwear, Scott Patt is Artist #38 in the 1HUND(RED) Converse Artist series and has over 11 years of design experience working for some of the top footwear and fashion and athletic companies in America. Beyond his achievements in commercial design, he is an artist who has been featured in exhibits in cities around the world from San Francisco to Tokyo. “I spend a lot of my time thinking about ways in which we connect to one another, the ways we link or not, our literal and figurative ‘footprint’ and the stories we craft along the way.” For Patt’s design, he created circular patterns radiating from the Chuck Taylor All Star ankle patch to symbolize energy transcending through the masses to create change. “I imagine it like in the old cartoon where the character would send out his sonar beacon to all the animals of the sea when he needed help.” The multitudes of colors represent the diversity of people connected to the (RED) initiative but also the many colors in which people see the world. And about his design inspirations, Patt added, “I love the idea of all of us working to make it to tomorrow and how we are all connected to one another within our collective daily walk. Its how we do it that inspires me.”
