My name is Sam Kapila.
I am a designer and educator from Curaçao. I live in Austin, TX with my two cats.
I am fascinated by branding, interactive design and social good, and
driven by research, process, problem solving and efficiency.
With an inherited hunger for growth, I got my MFA in Communication Design and teach Interactive Design courses at Texas State University-San Marcos.
I am available for new projects and collaborations.
