Samantha Schwartz

Hello and Welcome :-)

My family moved to Los Angeles from Australia in 2016. Straight away I went back to school to study Fine Arts at Otis College and touch up on my Adobe Illustrator skills for my design work. I continue to balance my Art and Design simultaneously.

I have recently created some fun murals for businesses here in Manhattan Beach, and I have shown and sold my art at Resin Gallery in Hermosa. I am a grateful member of the South Bay Artist Collective, and I love to explore and immerse myself in all the different genres of artistic talent around LA.

I majored in Commercial Design at KVB College of Design in Sydney, Australia. Following my internship at Devine Erby Mazlin Architects and Interior Designers, I achieved my dream job at Ross Barr and Associates, where I devoted nearly three years to Designing and this is where my passion for typography began.

Publishers approached me with offers to join their design team, where I had the opportunity to work on well-established magazines. As a result, I began freelancing for them, enabling me to explore diverse projects, ranging from emerging brands to current events.

Upon relocating to Manhattan, New York City, I secured a position at Hewson Group, a renowned Design Studio in SoHo where we were creating websites for corporations and designing and producing their Annual Reports. After five years, I returned to Sydney and joined Armstrong Q until the birth of my first son. Following the birth of my second son, my family and I moved to Noosa, where I freelanced for The Wedding Industry.

Regardless of the medium, my creative approach revolves around identifying the underlying tension within an assigned or self-chosen idea. Ultimately, my goal is to craft lasting and impactful images.
