P Scott Holtz and son Max Holtz |

Coming from a technical theatre
background (set and lighting design focus in college)
that somehow evolved into a long career in retail visual
merchandising P. Scott Holtz learned early in the game how
to make things look good, appear organized, function
well and do it on a budget.
In 1999 after his last retail employer
filed for bankruptcy protection and began liquidation
there wasn’t much need for a Regional Visual
Merchandiser. Over the years in retail he had developed
some solid visual communication skills and
quickly found a company who needed "some work done". One
job has always opened the door to the next and his
clients referrals and involvement in the community
provide him with all his work.
Working and living in
Downtown
Skokie, Scott holds strong in the belief that there is a chance for Downtown Skokie
to be something more than it is. Scott
is board member of
IMODS (Independent Merchants of Downtown
Skokie) and the
Skokie Chamber of Commerce where he was
named both Member of the Year in 2010 and Volunteer of
the Year in 2009. Scott has been instrumental in forming
the
Economic Development Task
Force and is the groups Chair for the
Skokie Chamber.
