Hi, I’m Sam Russell! I’m a graphic design student who loves creating work that feels bold, bright, and a little unexpected. I’m drawn to vibrant colors and interesting forms, and I’m always looking for ways to push ideas beyond the obvious. I like design that feels funky but still modern, playful, expressive, and full of personality. Color is one of my favorite parts of the design process. I love experimenting with bright, sometimes unconventional color palettes and seeing how different combinations can completely change the energy of a piece. Whether it’s high contrast, unexpected pairings, or layered tones, I’m always thinking about how color can create mood and make a design stand out. For me, strong color choices are what make work feel alive. Illustration is another huge passion of mine. I love drawing and incorporating illustration into my designs whenever I can because it adds a personal, storytelling element that feels authentic to me. Overall, I enjoy thinking outside the box and making work that stands out. I’m always exploring new ideas and new ways to combine color, form, and imagery. Design, to me, is about having fun, taking risks, and creating visuals that people actually connect with.
