Samantha began creating websites in 2005 but left her digital work in 2007 to explore other interests, to spend more time in nature, and to find a healthier way of living. In 2015 she returned to tech, working operations & finance with CoLab Cooperative, and in the following year began her own cooperative — Fresh Ink.
Samantha is driven by project outcomes. Helping those who make the world a better place is her greatest driving force; to be able to see, not just visually, but statistically, the changes her work makes is a deep source of motivation.
Joyfully entering her 15th year of working with cooperatives, Samantha seeks to build a sustainable, collaborative and empowering digital work-space — rooted in care, connection, and compassion.
