I’M SAMANTHA NEWMAN

Design Philosophy

I think of design as solving a rubix cube. The end product will be as much walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture as the rubix cube sides will be red, white, green, blue and yellow. But what elevates both solving a rubix cube and designing a space is the journey of curiosity we take to get there.
