about me :)

hi, i’m sam!

I am a creative professional working and living in Florence, Alabama. I am a recent graduate of the University of North Alabama, and have earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in Digital Media and minor in Photography. A motto that I live by is, “I am endlessly creating myself”. So, I tend to dabble in many areas of art, design, photography, and creativity. Being a creative professional, being surrounded by art and inspiration on a daily basis, is something that feels so freeing and right to me. In my work, I aim to tell a story- whether this be of a person, place, thing, or even a feeling. Everything in this world has a story, lives its own narrative, and I want to be the one to tell that visual story.

I currently work full-time as the Visual Communications Specialist at the Florence-Lauderdale Public Library. I handle all visual communications, graphic design, photography, social media management, print publication design, and website management for the library.

In my free time, I love to work on experimental and editorial typography and design, branding and style guides, print layout and design, as well as a wide range of photography- nature, portraiture, editorial shoots, sports, and event photography are just a few of my favorites. I shoot on both digital and film, and am highly skilled in darkroom processing and developing! These are all passions I have built upon over my academic, professional, and personal careers.
