Sam Benson

Junior Graphic Designer

Hi, I’m Sam! I’m a multidisciplinary junior designer with a recent degree in Graphic Design and a midwest perspective. Though my exterior may be introverted, my work is bold, playful, and always embedded in impactful storytelling, aiming to cut through the artificial noise of the current digital landscape by producing work that emphasizes tangibility and experimentation. I’m at my best when I use design to produce thought-provoking conversations and promote positive change in the world.

On the off-chance I’m not at my desk you can find me going to late night movies, enjoying local concerts with friends, creating zines, or bingeing my favorite TV shows.
