He’s comfortable with both product-driven design work and large-scale architecture, and has documented processes that keep distributed teams productive. Sam also brings entrepreneurial experience from successfully crowdfunding a visually rich Dating Sim, which sharpened his skills in new languages, running a creative studio, and small-business operations.
