"Smart, creative, professional, passionate, ethical, multicultural, bilingual, and possessor of an awesome eye for art direction. This is Samantha, a person that I have known since six years ago that we worked together. I admire her commitment to always do the best work she can, which pushes everyone around her to their best work. A pleasure to work with.
Samantha is a pioneer in thinking about how consumers engage with creative ideas through devices. She had an eye for digital and social creative, before it was needed to have one. She was interested on it before it was a requirement for creatives.
Her art direction is flawless and inspiring, and she uses it in her professional and personal life. She art directs everything she does, and it is beautiful. From digital experiences to food, from prints to family pictures, from TV spots to a baby's room.
I would definitely work with her any time!"
"Samantha is one of the most talented art directors I've worked with. She is a great designer but an even better creative. But above all these she is someone you'd like to have as part of your team."
"Every account person should have the opportunity to work with a Creative Director like Samantha. She is smart, insightful, inspiring, thought provoking and still egoless, collaborative and fun to be around.
Her 10 years of experience in the advertising industry, exquisite taste, and a great graphic design eye, make her a truly gifted creative in both concept and craft.
Samantha’s abundant talent and quiet strength make her one of the best teammates anyone can work with, and any client or agency is much stronger with her on the team."
"Samantha is a star. She is an extraordinary creative talent with a drive for innovation. I was lucky enough for have Samantha on my team for 3 years. In that time, she was a great contributor to the agency. She often brought ideas to me about how to improve the agency and was willing to spearhead them. As a result, she was not only a great creative resource for us, but she also lead many of our digital and social efforts. She's an asset to any team she's a part of."
"Often, in the creative microcosmos, being loved by clients implies making flat creativity. Devoid of risk, preexisting. But as in every aspect of life, in this case there are also exceptions. Samantha for example. In spite of having usually received conservative briefs of conservative brands, with little space for innovation, she always tried to do great work with such little freedom. I do, very strongly, recommend her as very creative and professional person."

"Hard working, smart, and AMAZING attitude are the first three thoughts that come to mind when I think of Sam. I guarantee you will never find another creative that consistently goes above and beyond what is asked, and with such a positive and energetic attitude. She is collaborative and a great team player, but at the same time possesses the leadership skills to lead projects and engage with clients. I honestly cannot say enough great things about Sam and look forward to continue working with her for a very long time."
"I’ve worked with many talented Ad Creatives in my career but very few of them do I consider good creatives AND leaders. Whenever Sam was leading a project it was a relief for everyone involved because we all understood what our role was and she gave us the tools and the freedom to get things done. Her style is hands-on, her creative feedback is always clear and her presentations flawless. I feel lucky to have worked with her and consider her a close friend and mentor. I confidently recommend her to anyone who is looking to add a voice of leadership to their creative team."
"Samantha is the rare combination of Creative talent that can think both creatively and strategically. She isn't afraid to push back when we ask too much, but she also understands how to balance Client (and account guy) requests respectfully. Across numerous projects, Samantha has made my job easier by being proactive, timely, and incredibly professional in delivering top-quality work, making selling things through a much less painful process.
It's a pleasure to have her on the team, and I hope we continue to work together for a long time to come."
"I've had the pleasure of working with Samantha on some challenging creative assignments and even pretty simple assignments. Regardless of the project, she does it with a smile and delivers great work. She is a true collaborator, natural leader and and very thoughtful in all her projects. Samantha is a great asset and will continue to be one with any team at any agency."
"Sam is one of the best creative leaders and art directors you can ever work with. Reliable, strategic, talented, great taste and most of all, an amazing energy. These means she just won't get the work done, she'll find a way to take the work to the next level. All while coaching junior creatives and building enduring relationships with the clients. So, you need to stop reading this and talk to Sam now!"
