Hey, I’m Sam

I'm a designer currently studying at the University of Oregon. I’m pursuing an advertising degree at the School of Journalism and Communication, along with a double minor in business and food studies.

I've always had a knack for all things creative. I learned how to cook and bake when I was little, which has carried on through the rest of my life. Growing up I had interests in fashion design, jewelry making, videography, collage making, and so much more. It's safe to say I was not someone who signed up for sports as a kid.

I never thought that I would be able to use these hobbies towards my career goals. When I became an advertising major, this all changed and I realized that my creativity had a place in the world. I love design, and I love that I can use it in a professional sense. I can't wait to grow my skills and knowledge around it.

Skills

Leadership

I love working with a team. I’ve found I’m really good at managing people. I’m currently the co-art director for Flux Magazine, a student-run publication at the University of Oregon. I’ve also founded/led multiple extracurricular clubs on campus.

Adobe

I have experience in Adobe programs such as Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Premiere. Every time I work on a new project, I learn at least one new thing in Adobe.

Creative

Something I bring to the table is creativity. Being a creative person allows me to try new things. I love thinking outside the box and coming up with new ways to solve things.
