Hi, I'm Sam, or better known online as SEASONED SESAME.

I studied Psychology at USC, but instead of becoming a therapist or working in HR, I somehow ended up designing websites and digital experiences (still thinking about people, just through UX, strategy, and design instead). Since then, I've worked across startups, galleries, agencies, and schools.

Alongside my design work, I'm a multidisciplinary artist. Lately, that's mostly meant colored pencils, though I enjoy creating across both pixels and paper. My work sits somewhere between hyperrealism and surrealism, using familiar imagery and everyday objects to explore identity, memory, and the psychology of the self.
