Hi, my name is Sam.

I’m currently design director at The DataFace and based in 🌧️ Vancouver, BC.

I have a bachelor’s degree from the University of Waterloo School of Architecture and a Master’s of Science in Data Visualization from Parsons in NYC.

I’m also an 🍻 eight-time local pub trivia champion along with my twin brother; the 🏒 current scoring leader in one of the lowest-division adult hockey leagues in the city; an 🚇 early pioneer of the Circle Line Pub Crawl; and (formerly) a 🥍 starting defenseman for the Scotland National Men’s Lacrosse team.

You can see some of my work below (for most of which I was a lead designer, creative director, developer, copywriter, and/or illustrator).

It’s so nice to meet you.

            I design beautiful websites and data visualizations all day every day. So I built this site much more simply. No frameworks, no CMS, no UI library, no bullshit. Not even a font import. Just HTML, CSS, and a tiny bit of javascript to make content management a little easier.
