Born in 1980. Discovers GEM Paint as a seven-year-old. Still loves real-world crayons though. Starts creating tiny computer games shortly after. Goes to University to study Communications until discovering that making media might actually be more interesting. Gets into web applications and designing websites. Begin his studies in Visual Communication at the Basel School of Design, keeps working on computer interfaces and as a freelance photographer. Studies in New York City for a semester (silkscreen, spray paint and edible type). Then comes back for his diploma project, a highly experimental digital venture with uncertain successful outcome. Sam recently moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina for the time being.
