BIO

Sam Allen is a design director who works best for brands ready for their makeover montage. Whether it’s a global brand who has become dusty or a small upstart needing to make a bold statement, she brings order to their design strategy and sparkle to their graphics. 

After more than a decade working at independent branding & packaging agencies in New York City, this Syracuse alum is now based in the wilds of western Maine. She is available as a freelance partner for agencies and saves room for a few small clients that are positioned for real business growth.

When not at her desk you can find her exploring outside (whatever the weather), harvesting cans for her local food pantry, or hunting for vintage costume jewelry.
