Designer Seeking
Full-Time Opportunity
I’m Sam, a marketing-driven graphic designer with a knack for turning ideas into visuals that connect. Over the last 10+ years, I’ve helped businesses in real estate, fitness, health, retail, and more grow their presence through thoughtful, strategic design. From social media and websites to flyers, postcards, and marketing campaigns, I bring a mix of creativity, organization and efficiency to a team.
All-in-1 Fitness
A new owner brought a new vision for All-in-1 Fitness in Spring Lake, MN. Using their color inspiration, I developed a cohesive website, flyer, and A-frame sign to drive awareness, promote class passes, and capture the attention of local traffic and event-goers.

Lakes | Sotheby’s International Realty
I designed a postcard mailer for the President of Lakes | Sotheby’s International Realty and his teammate to showcase a luxury listing, incorporating their property description, a QR code linking to the listing, and a clear call-to-action. They kindly referred me to another agent, for whom I created a branded Mailchimp email blast, matching Sotheby’s colors, fonts, and style to ensure a polished and consistent marketing presence.

Social Media Marketing
For over three years, I managed Jona Flores’s social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, posting twice a week with a mix of trending reels, new listings, homeowner tips, market insights, community events, and highlights of her achievements. Jona is the Founder and Team Leader of Homes with Collection at RE/MAX Results. I wrote each caption and chose hashtags and location tags using a mix of my own creativity and ChatGPT. I also created her modern, geometric navy-and-gold logo and branding in Adobe Illustrator, paired with the clean Glacial Indifference font. To support her team, I designed editable Canva templates so they could post their own listings while staying on brand.

Website Creation
My website design process starts with a consultation with each business owner to understand their goals. Then I researched competitor sites to help create a strategy. From there, I organized, edited, and designed the site's content and layout with the end user's experience as the top priority, while applying SEO best practices to ensure discoverability. Once a site launches, I mentor each client on how to use their website and give them access to manage their own updates going forward or they can reach out to me to make updates!

Video Design
Commercial real estate agent, Tony Weinstine of RE/MAX Results, wanted to announce his successful sale of two Burnsville office buildings on LinkedIn. He shared his goal with me and provided photos and videographer footage. I organized the content into a clear, easy-to-follow story, then added text, logos, graphics, icons, and music for a polished, professional finish. I welcomed his feedback, helped write the caption, and posted the final video to LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook so it reached a wider audience.
