My name is Samantha McFadden. In May 2021 I graduated from Scripps College with a cum laude Bachelor’s degree in Digital Art (minor in Media Studies). I have experience in web development, product design, UX/UI design and research, and graphic design. My interests include the application of design thinking as a problem-solving tool to solve complex real-world challenges.
I discovered my passion for the visual arts when I was very young, and was particularly interested in drawing and film. As my skill as an artist grew, I became intrigued with the visual effects used in my favorite film genre, science fiction. My love of science fiction inspired me to develop technical and creative skills in the digital arts. 
I have strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, AfterEffects, MediaEncoder, XD), Procreate, Sketch, SketchUp, Vectorworks, Cinema 4D, Camtasia, Figma, Rhino, Tableau, Metashape and other creative softwares.
