Sam draws inspiration for her designs from her love of literature and cinema, focusing mainly on human and fantasy characters, who they are and what world they live in, to create new storylines and cinematic aesthetics using her unique colour palettes and limitless imagination. Creating beauty in dark worlds and magic in the ordinary.
