Hi, I'm Sarah Martinez, designer of Sam I Am Designs
Sam stands for Sarah A. Martinez, the three letters a nod to family as well as my initials. I am a graphic designer born and raised in Austin, Texas.
I earned an MFA in Design within the School of Design and Creative Technologies at the University of Texas at Austin in May 2022, with an emphasis on themed entertainment, interactive design, storytelling, and graphic design.
Since 2016, I’ve taken an interest in design systems, specifically how they translate from print, to digital, and to displays. It is a narrative that should flow as seamlessly across mediums. In the field, these mediums have crossed from printed pieces to physical installations, scripted videos, and projection mapped projects.
Throughout my 12 years of professional work, I’ve had an opportunity to expand my skills greatly. I’ve worked on flyers, brochures, print and digital campaigns, emails, and mobile ads. I’ve been a content creator and managed social media for non-profits, businesses, and state agencies. Since 2017, I’ve written scripts, directed, and edited videos. I quality control any print collateral before they go out to the printers and is the go-to person for rush projects.
