About Me

Hello again! Samantha here. Let's get to know each other. From 9 - 5, you can catch me researching, strategizing, wire-framing, and prototyping as a Product Designer at Bowlero.

I found myself drawn to the world of design because it's the intersection of practicality, intuition, and creativity. That's where I thrive.

Having designed at both an agency and as an in-house designer, I'm easily able to adapt to a project's needs based on the available information. Every project requires a different approach - and I love that.

Outside of design, I love spending time with my pets, reading, and traveling to see my friends & family. When I'm lucky, I'm doing all three.

My ultimate goal is to contribute some goodness to the world. You may be wondering, "how are you doing that now?" Glad you asked! Currently, I'm taking certification courses through FEMA so that I can apply to volunteer as a National Field Responder for the ASPCA.
