I’m Sam. I’m a strategist who actually knows how to use a camera.

Most strategists stop at the slide deck. I grew up longboarding around Beaverton and was obsessed with YouTube, so I’ve always been more interested in the edit. I believe the best way to solve a brand’s problem isn't just a clever insight—it’s a story that people actually want to watch.

01 — The Strategy: I’m a strategist who thinks in frames. I use my Advertising and Art & Tech toolkit to build blueprints for stories that actually matter. I don't just look for data points; I look for the "human" moments that make a campaign feel like an experience rather than an ad.

02 — The Making: I’m a film-first creator. From managing global communities at startups like PanPalz to producing my own shorts, I live for the production process. Whether I’m writing the brief, designing the deck, or calling "action," I’m there to make sure the energy stays high and the message stays clear.
