In this episode I speak with Samantha Warren. Sam is a Printed Textiles Designer and founder of accessories brand Samantha warren London. Sam’s vibrant prints inspired by nature have been stocked in Anthropologie, The Royal Academy of Arts, The British Museum and The Fashion Textile Museum in London.

In recent years Sam has also worked with the local community of Croydon. Using pattern to stop people from fly tipping and engaging the community in the creative process to celebrate their local area and promote a sense of belonging.

Being someone from an Asian background, Sam touches upon the nervousness of her parents when she chose a career in the arts, culturally seen as quite an unconventional and unsecure path to take. She also shares the will and passion required to stay in the game for the long haul.

I love Sam's transparency around her career as a designer. As someone who’s had amazing success, she’s so humble and grounded.
