Laura Saravia Bott

Design Director / Founder

A passionate hands-on art director and designer with over 15 years working directly with clients both large and small. In my last in-house role as Design Director / Senior Designer at Time Warner Global Media, an integrated marketing department of Time Warner Inc., I turned a bland four cube workstation to an award-winning design studio leading a team of designers through conception, development and implementation of print and digital creative for both corporate, company-wide initiatives and their FORTUNE 500 clients.

Prior to that, I was a design consultant at various entertainment and publishing companies, including Madison Square Garden, Scholastic, Condé Nast and many other print and digital boutique agencies in NYC.

In between all that, I owned an art & music venue, STAGE 84 in Florida with my artistic family and I love to volunteer my various skills to charities and start ups. With Bott & Co. I strive to help all types of businesses, from the local spot to the global brand with a tailored approach to any budget.

Samuel Kaplan

Production Designer

Sam always loved doodling, but his real interest in art began in the 3rd grade when a friend taught him how to draw Sonic the Hedgehog and cut them out to hang on his wall. From this point on Sam’s interest in art was apparent. He took courses in photography and graphic design which introduced him to the idea of creating digital art. 

After a lot of learning from online videos about photoshop and illustrator, as well as volunteering, Sam began interning at the Bott Shoppe where he honed in his design and production skills.

Sam currently attends Binghamton University.
