About Me

My Photo
A San Francisco native, I am 5/8 educator and 5/8 social entrepreneur. Trained as an industrial designer at the Rhode Island School of Design, I have continued my quest for meaningful work at the intersection of design/social impact/education. This has led me to teaching at Pratt Institute, Brown University's Community Environmental College and at my alma mater, where I founded the advanced studio, Design for Social Entrepreneurship, as the youngest adjunct faculty. After working for Design that Matters and purchasing the urls, designforamerica.com/org on the night of the 2008 presidential elections, I am now the Director of Operations for Design for America (i.e. dream job).

Sami @ Design for America

Update on Sami:

I've packed my bags and for the next 7 weeks, I will excitedly be helping to run this year's Design for America Fellows Program at Northwestern! Check us out here.



I'll be working as the Studio Lead and resident "Design Therapist" so to speak, helping to bring greater clarity to students' ideas, while also working to develop a systemetized documentation approach to build our DfA brand.

So, my blog posts might be slowed, but stay tuned for updates!

With my apartment being a 10 minute bike ride to the lakeside beach, I might just like it here...
