I’m Rob Scanlan, a Registered Graphic Designer classically trained as an editorial designer for text and trade books. I’ve spent years honing my design and layout skills on hundreds of print projects, and I’m leveraging that experience to include branding and digital marketing across social, email, web, and video.

Turns out I love designing for any media, not just print. I run my solo freelance design business as First Image. I’m easy to work with, bringing an abundance of professional-level experience in both agency & corporate environments (collaborating in-house or remotely), and I deliver effective design and marketing solutions for a variety of industries from start-ups to large corporate brands.

Email rs@firstimage.design to see how I can help you solve your next marketing, branding, or design challenge.





The team at First Image worked with us to really understand the essence of our brand and quickly understood our vision for growing our business. We now have a truly competitive modern look-and-feel, and our sales are there to back that up. For three years in-a-row we’ve been recognized as one of Canadas’ Fastest Growing Companies!
