sam is a ux designer @youtube
based in brooklyn, ny.
I lead the Creator Studio Home experience at YouTube, a platform designed to support content creators on their journey to becoming successful YouTubers.
Previously, I worked at Spotify and Linkedin in NYC, Zürich, and SF.
I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University 2015 in Pittsburgh with a BFA in Communication Design & Human Computer Interaction (HCI).
Living in new places and overcoming cultural and communication gaps has been a consistent theme in my life. I grew up in South Carolina where being a half asian and white, jewish female was more unusual than atypical. Ultimately, I believe my background is what led me to be a more empathetic and curious designer.
In my non-working life I love to make and try new things. I over indulge in entertainment, social media and fashion trends. I enjoy running and hiking with my husband and dog. I’m always happy to meet someone new ~
