Liz Scott is a creative consultant and entrepreneur
born, raised and residing in Akron, Ohio. Her areas of expertise include brand development, retail strategy, social media management and graphic design.
Liz leapt into entrepreneurship in 2004, when she founded Immix Studio, her corporate graphic design company, where she would work with some of the area’s favorite institutions, like Swensons, Don Drumm Studios & Gallery, Acme Fresh Market, The Ohio State University and the Cleveland Clinic. That same year she also co-founded Rubber City Clothing.
In 2009, Liz developed Lovely Somethings, which began as the wedding invitation branch of the studio. By 2014, her love for all things paper lead to the brand’s award winning brick-and-mortar storefront, located in Bath, Ohio. After celebrating 5 years of success and stunning paper, Liz shuttered the Lovely Somethings storefront at the end of 2019. The closing of the shop and the onset of the pandemic brought on many pivots: she retired from weddings; began Troop Lovely Somethings curated subscriptions; and at the end of 2020, after 16 years, Liz closed the Immix chapter.
Starting fresh in 2021, Liz Scott Design(s) was launched and encompasses all the values and creativity that have made Liz’s previous businesses so impactful in her community. Through intentional designs and purposeful messaging, LSD is committed to maintaining authenticity when it comes to branding and business strategy. As someone who has created and refined many brands, Liz knows the most important part of being successful is creating something that effortlessly represents you.
When Liz isn’t meeting with clients or planning her next adventure (her favorite thing to talk about), you can find her elbows deep in whatever new home project she has dreamed up; or scouting out the best restaurants in the world with her husband, Blair; and always snuggling with their dogs, Quinn, a soft-coated Wheaten Terrier, and Piper, a silver Lab, at home in Bath, Ohio.
With a wide range of writing experience, and the portfolio to match, Tim is our resident word nerd. From PR/comms in the U.S. Senate, to renewable energy outreach in the Midwest, to national ads and marketing for one of the world’s largest creative agencies–Tim has a preternatural knack for telling brand stories of all shapes and sizes. If you have something to say, Tim will know how to say it with style, substance, brevity and most of all… impact.
Lauren has a passion for elevating the voices and visions of brands through thoughtful writing and strategic marketing tactics. She has been collaborating with Liz since 2018 and has a background in non-profit, B2B, B2C and corporate Marketing Communications. Lauren lives in Akron, Ohio, with her husband and two Corgis.

When one of your best friends nabs her DREAM job, her own neuro-science lab (even if it means she moved Canada), you immediately say YES when asked to design branding for said new lab. Over the years, I’ve always pushed @emilyoby to tell me more about the work she does - you guys it’s so fascinating, for example some of it was done with the goal of helping stroke patients move limbs again - so us doing this work as a team I learned so much.,.but in Liz language, like the beauty of the brainwaves feedback reports. I’ll share the end product very soon; as I didn’t remember to make this post until we wrapped up the designs. Congrats Emma, endlessly and always proud of you 💙 #dremilyoby #theobylab @queensuniversity 🇨🇦
This is just what we needed tonight. Date night was a beautiful distraction, and the added bonus that we felt like we were back in Paris again. Thank you @chefdouglaskatz for adding another gem to the deliciousness that is Cleveland, @kilncle 👏 Popovers are a MUST! And extra bonus that there is @zhugcle hummus served with the crudite, IYKYK 🌾
- daiquiri & manhattan
- popovers with butter and jam
- crudités
- bibb salad with braised leeks (ate before pic)
- ribeye steak tips
- spoon bread
- taleggio & parmesan scalloped potatoes

Tickled that one of my designs will be featured in the Bicentennial edition of the Akron on Deck playing cards! It’s been my privilege to design for @norkabeverage since its rebirth and I’m continuously so proud of @mwconsidine and the second round of legacy he has created for this 100+year old brand. It’s a joy to see our teamwork put out into the world in a new way thanks to creative super forces of @artxlovellc. Thank you, Mac and Allyse for constantly giving back to your community in such beautiful ways! Link in Bio to pre-order your decks - make sure to get the Bicentennial Edition. ♠️ ♥️ ♣️♦️ #akronondeck #lizscottdesigns #letlizhelp
How we spent our Halloween- a fun double date with Tim and @kassaf20 at @steakcle. It’s HEAVY on the kitsch factor (some misses, steak knives weren’t terribly functional) and the server said “influencers really like..” a million times, BUT the food was surprisingly good. It’s for a sure a different concept for a steakhouse in the area. Super casual dining room, and everything is so playful, plus it’s a prix fixe menu so you get your entree + sauce + unlimited waffle fries or veg for one price, making it way more approachable. We did listen to the waitress and started with their creamed corn, probably the star of the show, and the Brussels - very fresh and not overcooked 👏 Def a fun experience and next time one of us will save room for the Ferris Wheel Ice Cream Sunday. Oh yeah, get the cheese sauce for the fries! #steakcle #thisiscle #cleeats
Friendsgiving turned Soupsgiving this year. I got a little spooky with things with our smaller crew. I really wanted to try a setup where everyone could see everyone. @blaircscott had the idea for the pentagram and a little coven even formed around the @solostove. Karaoke didn’t happen this year as the @cleguardians were our entertainment. BTW I’m still catching sh*t from everyone as I said it was casual this year. Even Blair admitted tonight at dinner “for me, this was casual”. I love coming up with ideas, and hopefully surprising people and making them feel special, that’s what Friendsgiving has always been about to me, valuing those that make our lives so rich. PS we put up 120 hanging candles and bats the night before the party, only the 15 or so actually affixed to the poles made it to party time. It was def a fun game of gathering them as they fell to keep them away from Piper. 🦇🕯️ HAPPY HALLOWEEN, ALL!

I wrote an article 4 years ago. I haven’t known what to say, now, but I did add a NEW prologue to it, link in bio. And if you don’t have the time/inclination to read it, I’ll requote myself: “…GOD DAMN IT, DON’T VOTE FOR TRUMP!” and also make sure to vote for @kamalaharris and @sherrod 🇺🇸
What a beautiful journey my client and friend, @broadlawnfarm has been on. It’s been wonderful watching her throw incredible soirées and now she’s broadening into showcasing goods, with an eye on sustainability. Beth and Sara of @onebunnyswool have teamed up for the @gardenclubofcleveland’s Harvest Boutique at the end of this month - link in @broadlawnfarm bio. Go buy incredible knitted sweaters, insanely cool giant hearts, my favorite @studiocartashop ribbons, incredible yarns, and so much more. Thanks for letting me evolve your brand, @designing_elizabeth 💗 #letlizhelp #lizscottdesigns
11 years married, and counting! 10 almost didn’t happen, but now we are better than we have EVER been. Marriage is work, we put in the work, year in and year out, and we have been having a lot of fun, too!!! Thanks you @blaircscott for 13 years of more laughs than cries, adventures and couch snuggles, and Ninja Turtles.
It’s been a minute since I’ve designed my own products, but with #cheapgoodstuffakron coming up (Sun. 9/29 @gardenerofbath). I was inspired to design some stickers. Head over to @cheapgoodstuffakron to check out a couple of others, featuring #cuyahogavalleynationalpark. #lizscottdesigns #letlizhelp
Thanks to everyone for your support, both cheering us on and your donations, for this year’s (and my first) @bikevelosano Bike for the Cure in support of cancer research @clevelandclinic. It’s crazy how much progress has been made in cancer research but equally mind-blowing is how much more needs to be accomplished. It affects all of us, in one way or another. I was proud to ride beside Blair, riding for his mom, Cheryl, who I never had the privilege to meet; and for my Aunt @kkspoerndle who gratefully caught things early enough and fought through treatment and is still here loving us all; and for my dear friend, @designing_elizabeth’s wonderful mother, Patty Q, who was truly a joy to everyone while she was still on this side, and I know still watches over Beth and her family with grace and guidance 🦊 If you’re compelled and able, you can still donate through the end of this month, link in my bio. Thanks, all! 🚲

Can anyone name the plant? I need this color for my yard! (In my head it’s beauty berry, but in resisting googling, let’s see what the group brain here says)
Super casual dinner last night, with friends. There were no utensils, but there were cups that made it back from the Olympics! I thought Goalball must be the French word for Handball?! Gratefully it was googled and we learned it’s a Paralympic sport, something with a ball that has bells in it, played by blind athletes. #themoreyouknow #paralympics

Reach out your hand and youʻll touch someone who cancer has affected, and chances are, itʻs affected you, too! So many friends and family members have been diagnosed with it, some caught it early enough and have survived, while others we still mourn. Think back to what the word cancer meant to you when you were a child. I donʻt remember hearing about it much, but when I did, it probably meant death. Itʻs simply incredible how much progress has been made on treating the disease as a whole, and even curing some kinds. Unfortunately new types are being found all the time, and more people diagnosed every day. We are sooooo fortunate to have the Cleveland Clinic in our backyard, and I hope that you will join us in financially supporting their research efforts, by supporting me in this Race for the Cure! ONE WEEK TIL THE RACE - help! 🔗 LINK IN BIO
