Samara Strauss
User Experience Designer
Pass the sharpie (or the mic). After majoring in psychology at Trinity College and working in medical research, Samara discovered a love for understanding human interactions and designing for people digitally.
Samara enjoys sketching, creating information architecture, collaborating with her fantastic coworkers, and teaching UX to fresh industry faces. She's also a competitive karaoke champion -- clients and co-workers often sing her praises, too.
