I’m Sam! Originally from New Boston, NH, I moved to Portland, Maine in 2015 to study Illustration at Maine College of Art & Design. After graduating, I decided to dabble in advertising and haven’t looked back since. I’m a huge nerd when it comes to bold design, quirky illustration, and playful colors. (Not to mention my love for stickers.)

In my free time, you can find me binging the latest and greatest reality tv show, enjoying live music at Thompson's Point, or cracking a cold one in my favorite lawn chair by the fire.
