WORK         NOT WORK         KNOW ME          TALK TO ME

JUST “SAM” IS FINE.


I am a (mostly) self-taught artist and designer, fueled by a liberating and carefree imagination.

“Artist” and “designer” were never on Career Day name tags or college job fairs for me, so I became a licensed aircraft mechanic, graduated from business school, and eventually found what I always wanted as a kid: creative fulfillment.

The colors, cultures, and textures of home are what inspire me. Graffiti sparked a fascination for letters, shapes, and forms early on and continues to serve as a reminder to have fun with art, no matter the medium.

Currently:
+ sr. digital designer @ Forbes
+ illustrating for Meanwhile Back in Queens
+ aprendiendo español (de México; que pedo, güey?)

Previously:
+ designer @ Droga5
+ designer / art director @ Business Insider
