Graphic Designer & Photographer based in

Intro
Hi, I’m Sam! I turn ideas into visuals, brands into experiences, and blank pages into something worth looking at. As a Chicago-area graphic designer, I'm always looking for new creative challenges and opportunities to make an impact through design.
About
I'm a Chicago-area designer with 13 years of professional experience and a lifelong passion for creativity and visual storytelling. After growing up in the suburbs, I moved to downtown Chicago in 2011 to attend Columbia College Chicago, where I earned my BFA in Art and Design. Before Columbia, I explored a few other art schools, which also helped shape my creative journey. While each experience taught me something valuable, it wasn't until I landed in the city that I truly found the environment where I could grow as a designer.
Graphic design isn't just what I do—it's what I love. I'm constantly looking for new ways to learn, create, and push my work further. Photography is another passion of mine and has become a valuable part of my design process, allowing me to capture original images that bring an extra layer of authenticity to my projects.
Over the years, I've worked on everything from print advertising, branding, logos, menus, and promotional materials to event graphics and marketing collateral. I enjoy tackling new challenges, expanding my skill set, and finding creative solutions that help brands stand out.
Currently, I'm in the Chicago suburbs and available for freelance projects. If you're looking for a designer who loves collaborating, learning, and bringing ideas to life, I'd love to connect.
