About
Greetings! I'm Sam, a seasoned visual designer and artist with a keen eye for crafting impactful designs. Armed with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Visual Communications from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I bring six years of hands-on experience and a passion for pushing the boundaries of creativity.
In my current role as a Visual Designer at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS XTG) in Naperville, IL, I specialize in developing high-fidelity wireframes for both mobile and desktop websites. Collaborating closely with pharmaceutical giants like Johnson & Johnson, Lilly, Stryker, Bayer, and Pfizer, I ensure that deliverables align seamlessly with project goals. From creating icons to designing compelling social media campaigns, I thrive in the dynamic intersection of creativity and functionality.
Prior to this, as a Marketing and Design Specialist at CrossRealms in Chicago, I managed a marketing team and implemented innovative systems for B2B content creation. I successfully revamped the company website using WordPress, orchestrated engaging company events, and played a pivotal role in branding initiatives.
My journey also includes valuable experiences such as Graphic Design Consultant at The UPS Store, Graphic Design Intern at Sport Decals, and Graphic Designer at Choice Mobility USA. Each role allowed me to hone my skills in UI design, typography, branding, and various design software tools.
Beyond the professional realm, I channel my creativity into personal projects and diverse interests, including film photography, ceramic arts, stained glass, and cultivating my ever-expanding collection of houseplants.
Join me on this design odyssey, where each project is a canvas waiting to come alive. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to sharing more of my design journey with you.
