Art Director & Designer
for Music & Culture

I'm Sam, an independent art director and designer specialising in music merchandise and visual creative, with a vintage sensibility.

My work spans generations of music, from The Beatles to Sabrina Carpenter, bringing a distinct visual approach to artists both past and present.

Drawing on music history, vintage print and visual culture, I create work that feels rooted in the past but relevant today.
