Designer Seeking
Full-Time Opportunity
I’m Sam, a marketing-driven graphic designer with a knack for turning ideas into visuals that connect. Over the last 10+ years, I’ve helped businesses in real estate, fitness, health, retail, and more grow their presence through thoughtful, strategic design. From social media and websites to flyers, postcards, and marketing campaigns, I bring a mix of creativity, organization and efficiency to a team.
All In 1 Fitness
A new owner brought a new vision for All in 1 Fitness in Spring Lake, MN. Using their color inspiration, I developed a cohesive website, flyer, and A-frame sign to drive awareness, promote class passes, and capture the attention of local traffic and event-goers.

Lakes | Sotheby’s International Realty
I designed a postcard mailer for the President of Lakes | Sotheby’s International Realty and his teammate to showcase a luxury listing, incorporating their property description, a QR code linking to the listing, and a clear call-to-action. They kindly referred me to another agent, for whom I created a branded Mailchimp email blast, matching Sotheby’s colors, fonts, and style to ensure a polished and consistent marketing presence.

Jona Flores | REALTOR®
For over three years, I managed Jona’s social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, posting twice weekly with a mix of trending reels, new listings, homeowner tips, market insights, community events, and highlights of her achievements. To support long-term use, I also designed Canva templates her team could easily edit, ensuring brand consistency and flexibility. I’d use a mix of my brain and Chat GPT for caption creation, hashtags, and tagging the location for each post. I also created her modern, geometric navy-and-gold branding in Adobe Illustrator, paired with the clean Glacial Indifference font.

Website Creation
My website design process started with a consultation with each business owner to understand their goals. Then I researched competitor sites to help create a strategy. From there, I organized, edited, and designed the site's content and layout with the end user's experience as the top priority, while applying SEO best practices to ensure discoverability. Once a site launches, I mentor each client with the knowledge and access to manage their own website updates going forward or they can reach out to me to make updates!
