Thanks for being here!

My name is Sam McGraw! I’m a Graphic Designer and Email Web Developer based out of Idaho with a passion for all things design and art. I’ve dabbled in professional photography, illustration, logo design, and copywriting.

I’m a solution-driven Docs Manager adept at contributing to highly collaborative work environments, finding solutions, and maintaining high customer satisfaction. I have proven experience developing consumer-focused print and email products using Illustrator, Photoshop, HTML, CSS, MJML and Liquid. I efficiently built products for desktop and mobile app users over the course 8+ years, meeting the highest standards for web design, user experience, best practices, and speed. I also single-handedly develop entire base user product libraries.

Fun Facts

I collect antique food and medicine bottles, stuffed animals, enamel pins, and uniquely illustrated versions of
Alice in Wonderland.

I will defend the Oxford Comma to my last breath, and beyond, if necessary.

I have a lot of special interests and am a frequent show binger, I bet we’ve got one in common.
