The work I do lives in collaboration—with artists, organizations, cities, and small businesses who are creating something meaningful in their communities. I’m grateful to have supported a wide range of projects, from creative activations and cultural strategies to hands-on event delivery and business consulting.
Here’s what past clients and collaborators have shared about working together
“After working with Sam on *many* projects – Art Hops, Work.Shop, and more – I can confidently say I trust Sam to get the job done, no matter what she's working on. She's so organized and supportive, and is a fountain of information – and what she doesn't know already, she'll find out for you faster than you could. Her professionalism far out-shadows my own, so having her smooth the edges of things is a great relief as an artist who sometimes has their head too far down into my own work to pay attention to all of the official details.
I care deeply about my community, and love the kind of people who just GET THINGS DONE. From the second I met Sam, I knew she was one of those people, and that she cared as much as, or more than, I do about supporting the community. Any time I need help with an idea, or someone to help make something happen, Sam is at the top of my list of people to contact. She's a true champion of art, artists, and the community. There's no better person to have working in your corner.”
“I began working with Sam during 2022 – it was my first time participating in a Holiday Pop Up Shoppe and a larger community market (Art Hop). Since then, I have worked with her for an additional community market and 2 more Pop Up Shop experiences. Sam is incredibly detailed, organized and ready to help where needed.
What I really love about working with her as a vendor is that she is truly invested in making you and your business a success. She has lots of ideas to share to help level up your business, but she is also truly knowledgeable and passionate about every vendor she works with. You can see this with how she communicates with you, and talks up your products to customers. While working with Sam, I have been able to bounce new or different ideas for everything from future designs to products to displays – and I am so grateful for the invaluable feedback she's shared.
If you are a small or independent business, I would recommend Sam for everything from financial set ups, grant proposal support or even general feedback on packaging/displays, or where you can potentially find leads to sell your products. She is incredibly in tune with local places and spaces – which is another reason why she's a fantastic choice for new leads and ideas, and to help your business grow.”
“Working with Sam was a total game changer. I was struggling with how to confidently price and book my first logo design job. Sam provided me with lots of support through out the process.
She helped me set clear, professional pricing that reflects the value of my work, and guided me through the entire booking process, from the initial client inquiry to sending out a proposal and securing the deposit. What once felt overwhelming now feels completely manageable.
Thanks to Sam, I not only landed the job but also felt confident and prepared every step of the way. I’d highly recommend Sam to any creative or small business owner who wants to take their business to the next level with clarity and confidence.”
“Having worked with Sam on projects like Art Hop, Holiday Pop-up Shoppe and Work.Shop - I see how her thoughtful feedbacks, her approach to work and a steadfast belief in what I do has helped my small-batch stationery business break ground and set on a path of growth. As someone who is new to the region and just setting up my business- it is incredibly valuable to have Sam give me more clarity on product designs that meet the real market expectations, share opportunities of growth that also reflect my values and specific niche and learn about the culture in general of the region we live in.
She is an amalgamation of knowledge with a vigour to make things happen and a passion for helping people be the best at what they do. If you are someone who is just setting up your creative business then working with Sam will help get a stable footing and also make jumping hoops much more enjoyable and manageable.”
“Sam helped me shape the business plan for Last Shop on Earth and it was honestly a game changer. I came in with scattered notes and various visions in my head, but no real idea how to get it all down in a way that would make sense to funders or partners. Sam helped me organize everything—from my story and purpose to my product strategy and goals—without watering down the flexible and creative side of the brand. She respected my ideas and translated them into something professional, clear, and still very much me. I feel way more confident moving forward with my path and sharing my work professionally. I couldn’t recommend Sam enough.”
“I first got to know Sam through the wildly successful KW Famous Popup Shop, where I was a vendor. Right from the start, I was struck by how professional and organized she was—every detail was considered, and the entire experience ran smoothly because of it. She has that rare combination of creative vision and business savvy, and she’s incredibly generous with her time and advice. As an emerging artist, I really valued having someone like Sam in my corner—she just gets it. I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to any creative or small business looking for real support—not fluff.”
