Josh Swancutt

Art Director

Josh works as an art director, specializing in design and digital editing by producing innovative and instructional video and web content for all levels of yearbookers, from PTA volunteers to the most competitive staffers. Like all Pictavo’s experts, he discovered his love for visual communication as a go-to on his high school yearbook staff.

Josh said joining staff ignited his passion for photography and graphic design by giving him a platform and the tools to develop those skills. He said the ability to freeze emotions became an area of self-expression, shaping his creative identity and fueling his enthusiasm for these art forms.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in design and innovation management at Oregon State, while working as a photojournalist for its media network.

He now works closely with staffers to help them master the art of photography and content generation. He enjoys guiding the next generation of photojournalists by helping them explore their interests and passions through yearbook.
