My name is Sam. I’m an energetic professional with 4+ years of experience in creative design and production roles and 5+ years in the food and beverage industry, combining strong client communication and attention to detail with hands-on coffee preparation skills. I’m a graphic design student with a genuine passion for both design and coffee culture. Highly customer-focused and adaptable, I bring experience across specialty cafés, artisan bakeries, and high-volume service environments. Skilled as a barista, cashier, and savory chef, with strengths in espresso preparation, drink development, and front-of-house hospitality. I bring a keen eye for detail, strong visual sensibility, and a thoughtful approach to craft through my design background. Known for being extremely hardworking, driven, and reliable, I’ve built a reputation for maintaining quality under pressure and contributing positively to team culture. I’m a motivated self-starter who pursued volunteer opportunities in the coffee industry throughout college to sharpen technical skills and deepen a passion for coffee as both a craft and culture.
