About Sam George
Design Lead at Work & Co
Originally from Lisbon, PT and currently based in Brooklyn, NY. I'm a designer and art director with over 8 years' experience in digital product, visual identity and brand campaign design.
I’ve been fortunate to grow as a creative professional in a multitude of locations (Lisbon, Barcelona, London and now New York) and organizations - from small design studios, to global agencies and tech giants.
Having contributed my expertise to award-wining design agencies including Work & Co, R/GA, and Code & Theory, I focus on providing a user-centric and systematic approach to every creative challenge.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of collaborating with global organizations such as Google, Harley-Davidson, IKEA, Magic Leap, Mellon Foundation and TensorFlow, among others.
My contributions have been featured on a number of leading publications such as Communication Arts, Print Mag, Ad Age, Creative Review, Brand New, Site Inspire and The Essential Design, to name a few.
I also periodically serve as creative mentor with organizations such as the D&AD, the One Club and ADP List.
