ABOUT:

Sam is pretending someone else wrote this short bio for his website, when it was really just him. He is a creative director based in Utah and employed by Bridger. He has 10+ years of experience in brand and UX/UI design. He loves finding that perfect balance of simplicity and legibility that makes a design truly memorable and iconic. 

Sam’s motto is, “move slow and fix things.” In his client work, he prefers a collaborative approach. More “we’re in this together” than “you’re gonna be so surprised.” Although, he does hope you’re a little surprised, in a good way, at the end of a project.

Sam enjoys talking, listening, walking, running, mountains, cooking, writing, doodling, art, film, books and a good sneeze.

If you’re still reading this instead of having a robot eat these words and vomit a summary, congratulations, you’re in rarified air. You can connect with Sam on the social channels linked above or send him an email.
