Hey, hi, y hola!

I’m Samantha, but feel free to call me Sam. I’m thrilled to be starting my journey as a Creative Team Designer at Slothzero!

After graduating from Oregon State University with a BFA in Graphic Design, I packed up my creativity and curiosity to explore the country, landing in the vibrant city of Chicago, IL. This move was more than a scenery change; it was about diving headfirst into new opportunities to share my passion for storytelling and visual communication with others.

What drives me? I find my inspiration sparks from inclusive design and crafting meaningful narratives that motivate us to shape a better tomorrow. As a proud advocate for the Latinx community, I’m deeply committed to providing resources and tools that empower individuals and pave future generational waves for equal access and a dynamic sense of representation. To me, diversity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the lens through which I view and create impactful work that resonate with all walks of life.

Now, let’s talk about a well experienced feeling—procrastination? Yep, we’ve had our battles. In college, I was often visited by time blindness and struggled juggling deadlines sometimes sacrificing my own well-being, sleep, or breaks, to meet the next and upcoming critique. But here's what I've found: Slothzero has become a safe space to shift my mindset. It has challenged me to approach this glooming tasks with a fresher perspective—learning how to embrace intention, be patience, and add even a touch of sloth-inspired wisdom (slow and steady really does win the race!).

I’m all about fostering open and diverse communication because I believe the best ideas come from collaboration and trust. So, if you’re ready to tackle these challenges and achieve progress, I’m your person. Let’s take on the world, one authentic move at a time!
