I was contracted alongside Sammy on a big fun art direction and design job for a Pride event and it was a true pleasure to join heads, thoughts, skills and all the creative things with her. For Sammy's age and stage in her career, she's extra impressive (sounds weird, but it's true), she's super fast on the tools, super receptive to direction and feedback, super quick to ask any questions she needs to to get the job done and also super across ways to explore concepts to bring her own life to them. Her attitude to the project was tip-top, eager to get things done well and have fun while doing so. Hope to get to work with Sammy again one day!

- Josie Young, Designer & Art Director

Sammy is a dream to work with! She bursts with creativity and unique ideas, and brings an undeniable stylish flare to everything she does. Sammy is always on top of things, takes initiative, a great team player and can see a project through from concept to finish with ease. There's nothing I've thrown her way that she can't handle.

- Maya Brasnovic, Senior and Head of Design

Sammy's fresh perspective and attitude are as impressive as her technical design skills. Her promptness and enthusiasm are matched by new ideas, and an often perfect balance of creative risk and commercial caution. Sammy gets it, and I look forward to working with her more.

- James McManus, Executive Creative Director

Vibrant, energetic, fun, colourful, wonderful, is how I would describe both Sammy's design ethic and Sammy herself! Always a pleasure to work with and a joy to have around, Sammy lights up every brief and every room. As if that's not enough, she's also as handy with a cocktail shaker as she is with a Mac (although ideally not both at the same time...)

- Ben Liley, CEO McCann AUS

Sammy Lee is a young energetic designer with a flare that’s instinctively her own. Always positive and enthusiastic from the smallest jobs to the big international brands, her passion and dedication is admirable and always willing to help out wherever possible. Sammy is also a fantastic person to boot. Making her a perfect fit in any team, while also being able to lead and work independently. When unsure, Sammy is never shy in asking questions which leads to her ability to grasp the concept of what needs to be done, helping to find the solution with minimal double handling. She is also very capable in following directions and making sure they are clear before starting. I’ve worked with Sammy on a few projects and more than happy to do so again!

- Dan Hickey, Studio Manager and Finished Artist

I had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Sammy on numerous projects, particularly on our Mastercard campaigns, and let me tell you, she is nothing short of a design rockstar! Sammy's creative prowess and attention to detail consistently blew me away. Her innovative approach to graphic design not only elevated our projects but also brought a fresh and dynamic perspective to every task. Sammy's ability to seamlessly blend creativity with strategic thinking made our collaboration on Mastercard campaigns a truly remarkable experience. Beyond her exceptional talent, Sammy is a joy to work with. Her positive attitude and unwavering commitment to delivering top-notch results made our projects not only successful but also incredibly enjoyable. Sammy's collaborative spirit and willingness to go above and beyond undoubtedly contributed to the success of our team. If you're looking for a graphic designer who not only meets but exceeds expectations, Sammy is your go-to person. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a creative powerhouse who can turn visions into stunning visual realities. Cheers to Sammy, the rockstar graphic designer who made our campaign work shine brighter than ever!

- Eddie Coghlan, Creative Director

You WANT Sammy Lee on your team! Totally engaged, talented, reliable and a hell of a lot of fun. Academic excellence is well balanced by a dedication to craft and one-of-a-kind design outcomes. If I were a project lead, I would definitely be choosing Sammy as the full-forward striker.

- Dr Dan Johnston, Academic Program Advisor, Design Lecturer

Sammy is hands down, one of the best people I have ever worked with. I have attempted to convey this through the following acrostic poem:

S - Skilled - Sammy is extremely sharp and switched on. Her attention to detail is unmatched. Not to mention her incredible design language.
A - Amazing Learner - this girl picks up creative cross disciplinary skills like no other. Like the time she learnt how to use a knitting machine in one day. Or the time she learnt how to use Premiere Pro to edit a video for me in one night.
M - Magnetic - The charisma on this girl ! Sammy is someone you always want to be around. No matter how hard a project or tough a situation she still has a smile on her face.
M - Motivated - After pulling a 3 day uni bender she still wakes up bright and early and cooks you a gourmet breakfast to begin another long day of hard work. Keep the girl fuelled with cans of coke and she will run for weeks on end to complete a project.
Y - YOLO - I’ve given you enough reasons, give her a shot and you truly won’t be disappointed. (Runners up for Y was ... Yeasty, Yass... you get the gist! Get onto her before she gets snatched up!)

- Angelica. K, Knitwear/Fashion Designer and longtime friend

Sammy is a conscientious and creative designer with a fluid and adaptable aesthetic. I highly recommend her and wish her the best in her career.

- Lucy Wang, Design Researcher and University Tutor

Sammy was an absolute dream to work with. I am an extremely indecisive person; always changing my mind; therefore I need to work with someone who is extremely patient with me. Whilst working with Sammy I never felt rushed or like she was annoyed at me for my countless changes; she took my vision on board and created the idea I had in my mind come to life. I will 100% being asking for Sammy’s help in the future and will be recommending her to everyone I know <3 <3 

- Bonnie Watts, Small Business Owner and Florist

Sammy is a keen and passionate Designer. She is full of ideas and she has the capacity to deliver these in concise and professional ways. Her Design approach is not stock standard and she is happy to be pushed outside the box (if she isn't already hanging out there herself).

- Michelle Catanzaro, Creative Director

On the day of the editorial shoot, Sammy was the creative director for the shoot in which her creativity and ideas for each photo was incredible. Sammy has a great eye for detail and is extremely fun to work with. Her professionalism on the day was polite and easygoing. Such a joy to have had worked with her!

- Yaz Zilwa, Fashion Stylist

Sammy is one of the most hard-working, determined, creative and generous people I have ever met in my life. It has been incredible to see her hard work come to fruition, she has been able to transform and help numerous different clients creatively in ingenious ways. If you are in need of any form of graphic design or creative work Sammy’s your gal...you will not regret it.

- Benjamin Lapidot, Senior Business Development Representative and Fulltime Boyfriend

I had the opportunity to work with Sammy on a daily basis for over a year across our 7 key POS clients (Möet Hennessy, Lyre’s, Accolade Wines, Pernod Ricard, CCA and Nestlé). Sammy always approached her work and clients with professionalism and her vivaciousness and positivity shines through everything she does.

Anyone would be lucky to have the opportunity to work with Sammy. PS: She bakes a mean cake!

- Rachael Sparks, Project Manager

We worked with Sammy on our logo and creative design/direction she was so amazing to work with and breezy to collaborate with. Super fun and open to suggestions and more importantly very good at her craft!

- Daylan and Coben McDonald, Music Producers/artists

Sammy Lee is the most creative person I have ever met! She is hyper observant of everything and everyone around her and has a way of finding the beauty in everything she sees and touches. This could be clothing, nature, photography, furniture, paper, makeup, truly everything and anything. It is the reason she is so multi skilled in her field of graphic design. She just has a unique way of seeing things that most people wouldn’t usually notice. She is the type of person who is willing to give anything a go. She is fearless and doesn’t have that red light in her head stopping her from attempting something new or from the fear of failure. It is the reason I was so confident to ask her to take my promotional pictures for my artist profile. She shot on her film camera and the photos to this day are the only ones that i believe capture me as me. But again, this is Sammy Lee we’re talking about. She has a unique eye, but also has the confidence and trust in herself to carry out exactly what she envisions. But more importantly, she loves what she does wholeheartedly. Her passion overrides any obstacle and it is the reason she will succeed in any job she is given. Skill can be taught, but passion can’t and that is why Sammy Lee is so special.

- Kalena Haireka, Musician

I miss working with Sammy everyday, she’s such a ray of sunshine! Sammy is one of the best people I’ve worked with. The passion and love she has for design is infectious! Her creative work is innovative and exciting. She’s an absolute asset to have on any team, Sammy is motivated, hard-working and is always willing to go the extra mile in anything that she does. She loves helping those around her and is a great teacher! She’s patient, more than willing to stop her work to help you and very approachable. She’s an all rounder! You’ll never have a dull day when you’re working with Sammy. She’s just an absolute delight. You’re missing out if you don’t hire her!

- Jemima Stevenson, Junior Designer

Sammy is a great friend who is fantastic to work with! Her bright character is partnered with a hard working mindset which is visible each time we work together.

Always going above and beyond on any favours I've asked and supportive in every way, it is always a blast to collaborate and cross paths with Sammy!

- Xavier Remedios, Small Business Owner and Multidisciplinary Designer

I had the pleasure of working with Sammy at The Kinetic Agency. Sammy was a fantastic member of our team who was committed to exceeding the company's expectations within every project. I was inspired by her enthusiasm, work ethic and teamwork. Sammy's strong minded and determined attitude will take her far as she propels throughout her career. Her intrinsic motivation is something that will continue to assist her learning and development, as she strives to make a positive contribution towards any project she is handed.

- Isidora Stevanovic, Marketing and Events Executive

Sammy is the most focused, most driven individual I know. All she does is work... But she loves to keep things busy. Give her a really tight deadline and she will literally whip out the most incredible work you’ve ever seen right out of her backside.

- Matthew Burns, Designer

Sammy is a true delight to work with! She brings so much of her positive energy and enthusiasm to each project she works on. When I was training her, not only did she absorb and applied her work, she takes feedback and critisim incredibly well, is never affraid to ask questions and stays curious!

- Rishni Abeysirinarayana, Graphic Designer

Sammy is an absolute powerhouse of a designer. Her brilliant, bright, innovative nature is an asset to any team both creatively and personally. She’s also a karaoke star but that might be relevant to other applications.

- India Morpeth, Junior Art Director and Graphic Designer

Sammy is a design wizz. Working with Sammy is such a delight because she is a beautiful, down to earth, full of sunshine kind of person. She executes briefs so quickly but with an incredible amount of creativity and skill. She self motivates and always goes above and beyond every working day.

- Marli Blanche, Designer

Sammy is a total joy to work with. Yes, she knows her way around Adobe, she can lead or collaborate with anybody and everybody, and isn’t shy of a challenge. But what really struck me about Sammy is her creative ingenuity, zest for life, and care for people and the world around her. Her energy is infectious (in a good way) and your team/project will be better for having Sammy on board.

- Dr Katrina Sandbach, Creative Director

I’ve been lucky enough to work with Sammy across two agencies and have witnessed her professional growth during this period. Her creative talent and natural potential speak for themselves, but it’s her energy, constant pursuit of knowledge and work ethic that stands her out from the crowd. I could go on forever about Sammy, but you’ll truly have to see it for yourself!

- Jeff Edwards, Senior Integrated Producer

I had the very great pleasure of being Sammy’s tutor on the fourth year of her design degree. Sammy is a standout. She is equal parts talented, curious, fun, engaging, hard working, compassionate, and creative. Sammy is definitely ‘one to watch’ and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough for a design role in a creative agency. I honestly think she will get snapped up, I reckon you should get in there quick! Oh, and she rocks a cool new hairstyle every month!

- Hannah Surtees, Graphic Designer, Design Director and Design Educator

Sammy approaches her work as she approaches her life - with the radiance of a thousand suns. Her passion and creativity is infectious, her designs are exciting and fresh, and her ability to boil everyone she meets down to a Disney character - truly inspiring.

I’d trust this girl with any project - big, small or completely batty.

- Tiffany Harrison, Art Director

Sammy is such a delight to work with and have in your corner! She really lights up any space with such a joy and excitement about the world, about you and about the project. She brings a beautifully unique take and approach to the table and possesses a real drive and tenacity when it comes to seeing a project through from ideation to delivery. Any moment to cross paths with let alone work with Sammy, in my experience, has been nothing short of a hoot.

- Micah Williams, Creative Strategist
