Inspired By:
I get inspired by creating new innovative solutions for clients that help them to utilize their space in a more efficient way. For me, creating an environment that inspires those who occupy it is a huge driver for my inspiration.
Keys to a Successful Project:
A successful project needs internal communication, collaboration and focus. Design gets stronger with a team that shares ideas and works together to strengthen the overall concept of a space. Understanding the importance of detail is what will make the project stand out and hopefully in the clients eyes be successful.
Interests Outside of Work:
Outside of work you can find me at any local coffee shop or plant store. I have been apart of a community-based dance company for over 6 years, that has allowed me a second outlet for creativity expression.
“Sam and I have worked together at several firms, and I have had the opportunity to watch her grow from a talented and curious designer to a strong and well-rounded senior designer and design manager. She has shown a great combination of innate talent, skill garnered through practice, and a drive to continually improve. She deserves this nomination, and I am proud to work alongside her.”

Favorite Haworth Collection Piece:
What Is Special About It:
The Archibald has such a soft form and shape to it. It is curved to give the bottom a heavier feel but is on thin metal legs still making it feel light. The delicate clean stitching detail in the fabric and the curved armrest is so subtle but yet so beautiful. This piece is very versatile as well, it can be used in many different space types.
