Hello There!
Look at us, already on the path to collaboration. Who would've thought? I’m Samantha aka Sam —a designer, photographer, and artist, with a passion for telling stories through creativity.

My Story
I’m Samantha Clemens, a Graphic Designer, visual storyteller, and creative explorer based in Scottsdale, AZ. I’m passionate about blending photography, branding, and illustration to create emotionally driven designs that resonate and connect. With a background in both digital and traditional art, I work across a range of mediums, from painting (oil, acrylic, and watercolor) to drawing, doodling, photography, logo design, and digital illustration. I draw my inspiration from the world around me—nature’s textures, architectural details, lighting, and the small, beautiful moments that make life special. I find joy in exploring new perspectives and using design to bring overlooked beauty to light.
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with brands like Kanisku Ultras, Studio Artise, and The Conrad Group LLC, where I’ve honed my skills in crafting strong visual identities and engaging content. Whether I’m illustrating, photographing, or designing, my goal is always to create immersive, inspiring work. When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me hiking, biking, or playing volleyball outdoors, or relaxing inside with friends and family, watching movies, doing crafts, or playing games. These moments keep my creativity flowing just as much as my art does. Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue pushing creative boundaries, traveling to new places, and using design to share stories that leave a lasting impression.
