meet Sam
I’m a Pacific Northwest girl through and through. I love the rain, the fog, the green, the trees, and the smell of all the above in the early mornings with a hot cup of tea in my hand. I have always loved art and design and have vivid memories of crafting intricate playdough creations as a kid.
After graduating from college where I majored in graphic design and art history, I took a major detour and worked as a paralegal. I loved it so much that I went back to school to get my degree in criminal justice. I began Frankie & Claude as a creative outlet from my day job, and it quickly grew into something more. My passion for art and design is in my soul, so I dove head-first into this business, quit my day job in 2015, and haven’t looked back!
A few other things about me — I’m married to my high school sweetheart! He’s the Claude in Frankie & Claude (our middle names). My favorite sound is my kids' laughing. My second favorite is snow falling. I’m a homebody and introvert at heart. I’m (finally!) learning to play the piano! Enough about me, let’s hear about you!
