Hi, I’m Sam.

I’m a creative strategist working at the intersection of design, storytelling, and cultural spaces. My background spans psychology, product design, and visual media — with experience across tech startups, contemporary art, and brand development.

I graduated from the University of Southern California in 2022 with a B.A. in Psychology. Since then, I’ve moved fluidly between roles: designing assistive tech, curating exhibitions, building internal tools, and scaling art spaces.

I believe in thoughtful systems, unstructured play, and work that makes room for both. This site is a snapshot of how I think, what I make, and the questions I like to explore — how we design for emotion and where creativity lives between structure and instinct.
