Hey, I’m Sam — a Senior Graphic & Web Designer based in the New York City area with over 6 years of experience creating thoughtful, brand-driven digital experiences.

My work sits at the intersection of marketing, branding, and web design, with a focus on creating polished, user-centered creative that feels both strategic and visually engaging. Over the years, I’ve designed everything from multi-channel marketing campaigns and responsive web experiences to social media content, email campaigns, presentations, and print collateral.

I currently work at DonorPerfect, where I collaborate closely with marketing, leadership, and development teams to bring campaigns and creative initiatives to life across digital and print channels. I’ve also helped develop scalable templates and systems, contributed to website redesigns and migrations, mentored new team members, and explored emerging AI tools and workflows for creative production.

In addition to my design work, I recently served as an Adjunct Instructor at Temple University, teaching web design principles, HTML, CSS, and design thinking to students in a virtual classroom environment.

As a designer, I care deeply about visual storytelling, thoughtful details, and creating work that feels both functional and human. I love collaborating with teams, solving creative problems, and building experiences that connect with people in meaningful ways.

Outside of design, I love board games, true crime podcasts, workout classes, and experimenting with new recipes.
