Work with us
My name is Sam Kraus and I’m a graphic, product, and website designer from the San Francisco, Bay Area. In the past decade, I’ve launched two apparel businesses, designed absurdly soft clothing for an iconic California lifestyle brand, and created eye-catching packaging for an award-winning consumer electronics company. Today, I create brand identities and websites for individuals and small businesses seeking to stand out in their industry. I approach each project with curiosity and patience. My goal is not only to realize the client’s needs but to consider the user’s experience functionally, emotionally, and aesthetically.
I am currently pursuing my interests in architecture, sustainability, and the connection between people and place.
