"Sam came into Ashley Furniture straight out of college and was very ambitious. As a director of UX, It was challenging for me to keep Sam active with the projects in the beginning because his workflow was already at a mature level. The quality of his work is extremely high and he is always eager to take on new challenges. Sam has a keen eye for great UX and I believe he has a very bright future ahead."

Charles Elliot

- Director of UX at Ashley Furniture

"I brought Sam onto the team as a UX designer because I saw his passion for design and entrepreneurial spirit. He has an interesting mix of personal and professional experience in the field and adjacent skills like graphics design, which is especially helpful for teams looking to move fast. Sam is collaborative and easy to work with; his cross functional partners and business stakeholders have great things to say about him. He is also a hard worker and solutions focused, making him a great addition to any team or organization."

"During our time together at Ideal Image, I had the pleasure of working alongside Sam on multiple projects. He collaborated well with our own team and others, as well as pushed for better designs. Sam was able to work on many designs that were launched and helped build Ideal Image's online experience. Projects he worked on included updates to marketing pages, complete redesigns, designs for pilots, and improvements to client tools. He is also a great team player. He gives his honest feedback and is willing to go the extra step. I look forward to seeing the places Sam is able to go and wish him the best in all his future endeavors."
