Hello there. My name is Samantha, but you can call me Sam. I am a printmaker and (someday) statistician, living in San Jose, California. Since 2008, I have run a small printed goods business, selling my work online and in small boutiques across the country. In 2012, I took a year-long creative sabbatical, and am returning slowly in 2013 with a new focus on prints and paper goods.

My days are filled with: cups of coffee with my husband (it was love at first sight), lovely moments with my two children (who are growing up too fast), office work during the day and creative pursuits in all the spaces in between.

I'm passionate about making things by hand, spending time away from my computer and finding time each day to pause. This space is my journal, a place to share my current work, discoveries and inspirations – a celebration of all things simple, useful and beautiful. Welcome!

*you may have known me previously as inklore & good measure
