Hey! I'm Sam, and I'm a Boston-based independent game designer, producer, and artist.
I'm a Studio Art major grad from Smith College, and over the past six years I've been making PC and mobile games.
I've always been dedicated to the telling stories. My work ethic was recognized by my peers when I was nominated as Lead Artist two weeks into a project, when I drew 70 fully colored character sprites for a 14 hour game, and when I took on Producer and Creative Director roles on nearly every project I've worked on. My team members have always acknowledged my passion for games and I love this industry!
Additionally, I am a strong team manager and love working with production. I love devising ways to optimize team flow and learning more about my team and game development from my peers.
In my spare time, I love traveling to events to meet new friends and game developers, drawing for benefits and charity, working with Girls Make Games to teach young girls how to code games, curating the Student Games category for BostonFIG, or out playing Pokemon GO!
I'm highly interested in media that tell stories and make people laugh, whether that's through games or animation.
