Hi, I’m Sam.

I am a UX designer based out of New Jersey, USA, whose roots are in music production. Prior to going into UX design, I spent around 7 years creating music with various projects such as indie bands like the specs and Hano. In 2018, I created hip-hop collective 1BUNNY and have been creating music with them under the moniker SKOOLBOI KRUSH ever since, releasing my most recent EP ‘Processing…’ in June of 2020.

I went into UX design after some consideration. I wanted to learn a new trade and find a career job that fit my work style. After research, I learned that UX design is a lot like music production, and I started Designlab’s UX Academy in 2020. Through this experience, I have learned a lot about design as a whole. I have learned that design is a lot about pinpointing problems and creating solutions. As someone who views life in a similar lens, I am always eager to learn more about design through working on projects and reading.I am always willing to learn, and excel in working with others through constructive criticism, collaboration, and empathizing. As someone who has been in various leadership positions throughout the past 10 years, I am confident in my ability to work with a team through a necessary task.
