Sam believes everyone is a creative and dedicates his time helping them create freely and at their highest potential. His love for Durham and his community runs deep. He’s joining the Hayti team after living in Los Angeles for 5 years where he realized he’s truly rooted in N.C. His marketing work with us will continue building upon a very rich foundation. Sam enjoys collecting books and sneakers and, in addition to his work with Hayti, he designs with his branding and marketing agency, The BLK Originals.
