Sam Mateosian is a creative technologist and entrepreneur with 14 years of professional experience and over two decades crafting interactive experiences that blend game design, VR storytelling, and social UX. As co-founder and CEO of Yarn Corporation and creator of Spacebar Arcade, he builds immersive social venues where AI-driven characters and low-gravity arcades meet community-driven play. His work spans hands-on product design, XR tooling, and festival-grade experiential projects—most notably "Exhibition A," which earned selection at Tribeca Film Festival 2023. A longtime maker and community builder, Sam co-founded Hack Portland and Big Room Studios, shipping web frameworks and fostering local hacker ecosystems. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he combines artistic sensibility from a Computer Science and Art BA with a hacker’s practicality—he’s equally likely to prototype an AI NPC as he is to eat bolgolgi.
