TESTIMONIALS

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

From Artists & Makers

  • Jon Johnson, BRFC/Bearface Design

    “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.”

  • Amanda M., My Sparkling Emporium

    “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.”

  • Ama Liyanage, Greyishteal

    “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.”
