Sama Saxena Srinivas
MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGNER, STRATEGIST & STORYTELLER



Pronounced /suh-ma/, like ‘summer’.
Hey! I’m Sama, a multidisciplinary designer and storyteller based in the Bay Area.

I recently graduated with my Masters in Multidisciplinary Design and am eager to work on new projects related to culture, health, social impact, and more! I work at the intersection of design, strategy, and storytelling. My passion is creating powerful narratives, experiences, and products that (hopefully) lead us to an inclusively designed society.

Beyond design, my side quests include travel photography, hand modeling, and writing on Substack. Let‘s chat!
