Samantha Ashley Carbonell · Lead Product Designer
I tend to follow whatever I'm curious about and go all in on it. Whether that's learning a new language, traveling somewhere unfamiliar, or building a camper van from scratch, I figure things out by doing. Traveling has played a big role in that—it's made me more open-minded and curious, and I naturally pull inspiration from different cultures into my artwork, hobbies, and the way I approach my work.
I do my best when I have a clear, defined goal to move toward—like signing up for a bodybuilding competition or a language placement exam with a set date, or setting a deadline to finish building my van and hit the road. I like having something concrete to work toward, even if I don't fully know how I'll get there yet.
