Hi! I'm Sam -

I'm an industrial designer from Raleigh, NC currently living in San Francisco, CA. Most of my creative energy comes from a gnawing for learning and discovery, and usually manifests itself in the form of obsessive internet searches, sketching, 3D modeling, and spontaneous weekend trips up and down the coast.

When I'm not working on design projects or doing any of the above, you can typically find me putting up shots at the nearest basketball court, reading in a coffee shop, or making chocolate chip cookies at home. I recently started painting with watercolors and oils (not at the same time though), and I love capturing truths about places visually. I'm passionate about milkshakes, foliage (especially moss), sultry guitar riffs, basketball, reading, truth, spirituality, and meaningful connections.

Check out my instagram (@thesamcarr) to see what I've been up to lately. Or check out my tumblr (ursostupid.tumblr.com) to see what's been inspiring.
