Bio
Born in New Orleans. Dad of four.
I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana, born and raised, and the city never really leaves you. It gets into everything: how I cook, how I talk, how I celebrate, and how I treat people. If you know, you know.
The center of my world is my family. I'm married to my wife Amy, and together we're raising four kids: three girls and a baby boy. Our house is loud, busy, and never boring, and I wouldn't trade a minute of it.
Outside of family, most of my free time goes to sports, mainly college football. I claim two teams in each league and refuse to apologize for it: LSU and the University of Minnesota on Saturdays, the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings on Sundays. Fall weekends at my place are fully booked.

Kind words
From people I've worked with
I managed Sam while he built the Baker Hughes design system, and he raised the bar for the entire org. He's that rare designer who thinks in systems and ships in code, so what he designs actually makes it into production.
Leonardo Schneider
Principal Product Designer, Ads AI at Meta
As an engineering director at Sense, I worked with Sam on several projects, and he's the designer developers ask for by name. His components were built to be consumed, his specs made sense, and handoff was never a fight.
Matthew Rubin
Founding Team Member at Pacific
I was Sam's design manager at Sense, and he didn't just build our design system, he changed how the whole team worked. He led designers across timezones and turned a fragmented platform into one coherent product.
