About
Hi there! I'm Samantha Van Curen, and I love all things design. With over 18 years of experience, I've worked with various industries, including restaurants, medical, and travel brands. I enjoy collaborating with operations, construction, sales, and marketing teams to bring brands to life.
Originally from Walla Walla, WA, I pursued my graphic design education at Eastern Washington University and the Art Institute of Seattle. After internships in Seattle agencies, I discovered my passion for in-house work, where I can fully immerse myself in a brand from start to finish. I enjoy getting to know each business I work with, to fully understand what they're all about and what they need to succeed.
In 2013, my family and I ventured to Dallas-Fort Worth to explore new horizons. However, after 9 years, we felt the pull back to the Pacific Northwest and relocated to Spokane, WA, to be closer to family and the beauty of the region.
If you have a project or opportunity you think I would be perfect for, send me a message and let's talk!
