My name might be Sam but I don't like green eggs and ham

Welcome to my virtual portfolio. 

I'm showcasing projects I've worked on during my professional and personal careers. It ranges from illustration to photography to video creation - a jack of all creative trades if you will.


I've always had a keen interest in art and illustration; the photography and video editing came later. Everything requires design and my aim is to produce work that makes people happy.

​

Currently I am working in freelance design, social media management, content creation, and advertising a book I recently published.

​

I am a huge nerd, if it wasn't apparent from the header so when I'm not working, you'll find me watching something or playing a game. Bonus points if I'm doing both at the same time.
