Prior to meeting Scott, I'd never considered framing much of an art from. You just slap a black border and a single white matte and you're done. But I've come to find out, if you have a good, complimentary frame and matte, your art will pop and standout far better than by itself or a more traditional frame. Scott is providing a service, not a product. What's this service? He has a natural knack for choosing ideas that will make people say, "Wow!" I brought three prints to Scott for framing and told him up front - I have no eye for color or artistic je ne sais quoi. Scott quickly went to his countless supplies and picked out a frame and mattes that pulled from the first print's colorway. I thought to myself, "You're crazy and this will look terrible," but surrendered to what I knew was a great reputation. The next print he drew from the subject matter (some sort of tiki-god-esque thing) and picked a frame with embossed/carved skulls. Now this, I was more on board with until he pulled out one of the blandest looking mattes I've seen (unframed). OK? Surrendering again. I'll spare you the details of the last print -you know where this story is going. Two weeks later, Scott gave me a call to pick up the pieces and I was blown away. Particularly with the first one (pictured) that seemed so outlandish prior to seeing the finished product. My advice - give Scott a try. Surrender. You may have an idea for how you want something to look, but Scott's idea is better. He also went the extra mile and adjusted a couple of things I noticed when I got home - do not abuse this privilege. Lastly, framing isn't cheap. I've had a few other things framed around town from businesses I liked. Scott's prices are comparable, but his skillset in making excellent choices is unrivaled. Somehow, he's remained a well-kept secret for too long. read more

Scott Engel is a Master at his craft... whether it is a $25 poster that you wish to accentuate... or a $5000 masterpiece that you've invested in, let Scott work his magic. Turn a simple picture into a piece of art that people will talk about ... All but two of my pieces were framed by Scott... I highly recommend him... and even suggest you give him artistic reign... He truly is a master at his craft... Thanks! read more

Scott is a rarity in the framing industry! He takes great pride in his work and views his framing as an opportunity of extending the artwork within. All our art pieces (approx 10 in all) have been framed by Scott and I expect all our future art pieces as well. We've referred many friends to Scott and have only ever heard the best response as a result! His prices are great and his quality is unsurpassed! Also, we don't even bother telling him what we want as far as the framing goes, instead preferring for him to exercise artistic independence. We've never been disappointed! read more

Scott has framed a wide array of different pieces for me, ranging from my Masters Degree diploma, to large prints, to my marriage Ketuba (certificate), just to name a few. Each time, he has taken the greatest care to understand what the piece means to me, understand how I envision it being displayed in my home, and then proceeded to create a terrific convolution of my desires and a unique touch of his own artistry that has brought out something in the piece that was not there before. Even though I might have to pay shipping (or bring it back myself, because I currently live in NYC), I will never go to another person to frame meaningful display pieces, period. Scott is one of a kind, and if you truly care about the piece you are framing (he has done entire museum collections, so there is nothing too sophisticated or valuable), then Scott is the person you're looking for. read more

My experience working with Scott has been excellent and by far the best framing shop in Atlanta as I have worked with some of the other highly rated ones in the past. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out! He has amazing frames and is very understanding and generous with his time as we pour through the many options as well as educates on the various options on what might be good. He does an excellent job in steering in directions he thinks will work but with art being so individual in preference for the mounting style, he also adapts and adjusts based on your feedback and style preference. Excellent balance of providing guidance and expertise without any pressure on the buyer and he is a pleasure to work with and speak to and quick to complete the work. read more

I went through Scott to get a lithograph framed. He did an exceptional job, I am more than pleased with the way the work turned out. Recommend 100% read more

Scott was great to work with! He's very professional and I found him easy to communicate with. I'm very happy with the frames he made for two oil paintings of mine. Due to the pandemic we both wore masks and Scott made accommodations on his back deck making it easier to social distance while deciding on the frames needed for the paintings. He helped me out with great suggestions. I look forward to having Scott do more framing for me. I highly recommend Artistic Designs! read more

Scott framed 4 posters that were very precious to me. He took the time to discuss the needs for each piece, but was never pushy or trying to up sell me. They were all done with care and are now amazing additions to my home office. I still have wall space to fill so I will be visiting Scott for more framing help very soon. read more

Scott is great. I've had him frame 3 pieces for me, and each one came out spectacular. I don't have much else to add but that he's is kind, listens really well, and as long as you let him know what you can afford he'll work with you. read more

I love getting my art work framed. I was in heaven when I walked into Scott's studio. I have never seen such a selection! Frames you would have never imagined. Scott really knows his inventory and made great recommendations. He really listens and the process was really enjoyable. Framing can be very expensive at retail framing stores. Scott's prices were very reasonable. I didn't have to compromise and got framing I never thought I could afford. You'll never go anywhere else after you've had Scott do your framing. Highly recommended! read more

Scott is very nice and professional, good value. Worth the effort of using him versus retail shops.

Prepare yourself for an exceptional experience. (Call first to make an appointment). I wish I had known about Scott ten years ago. He has a VAST array of materials. More options and better quality than you will find in any commercial framing store. He patiently and expertly guides you through designing the perfect frame. The environment is conducive to optimize creativity. He is professional, reasonably priced. Simply put, he's the best. The BEST. read more
