Hi, I’m Samantha !
(but you can just call me Sam 😉)
Ever since I was a kid, I have enjoyed puzzles and problem-solving, which are still some of my favorite ways to be creative. UX design lets me solve intricate and ever-changing puzzles. I love analyzing the situation to find the most seamless and accessible solution that suits all of the user’s needs. My degree in Design & Interaction combined with my background in Computational Social Science allows me to solve these puzzles using data and design.

When I’m not designing I’m probably...
Exploring new places with friends. After studying abroad in Seoul, I fell in love with traveling.
Trying out new cafes. I’m a boba addict and am actively perfecting my matcha latte technique.
Bouldering at my local climbing gym. I just climbed my first V3 and plan to continue improving!
