* From his when asked to describe his ideal working environment: “A place where engineers are permitted the same self indulgent creative freedom as artists; a tudor near the beach in the middle of the woods with a FedEx, a Dunkin’ Donuts and a Pathmark close by.”

Scott Amron (born January 15, 1980) is an American conceptual artist and electrical engineer.

Amron studied electrical and mechanical engineering in Europe and the United States, earning a B.E. in Electrical Engineering from Stony Brook University. In 2007, he started Amron Experimental, his one man design firm and engineering atelier known for selling original proof-of-concept prototypes as limited edition design-art. He has exhibited in London, the Netherlands, Germany, Singapore, and New York. Amron's clients and stockists include OXO International, Polder, Whitney Museum of American Art, MoMA, NASA, and Target Corporation.

Amron is best known for his Brush & Rinse Toothbrush (voted best concept of 2007 by I.D. Magazine), Die Electric OFF Switch, Endo Magnet, and Cash Money Clip. His work has been praised for dismissing preconceived notions of how we are "supposed" to interact with basic objects. His experimental product designs promote sustainability and change perspectives.
