Hello, I'm Sam!
My path to design runs through urban farms, café counters, and startup teams — each stop along the way deepening my appreciation for thoughtfully crafted experiences that bring people together. I'm motivated by the belief that design is one of the most powerful tools we have for imagining and enacting more livable futures for people and planet, and I bring that conviction into my practice through human-centered design, systems thinking, and equity work.
Outside of the office, you can find me making (and eating) ice cream, exploring someplace outdoors, and playing with my cat Boots.
