Samantha Hinrichs is an associate creative director and art director who is passionate about creating work that delights people. Her design style has been described as both classic and experimental bringing more soul, more instinct, and more humanity—less stuff that interrupts, agitates, and frustrates.

 

She has a broad scope of experience, cutting her teeth with Goodby Silverstein & Partners, then transitioning to Ampersand Agency where she helps oversee all aspects of creative and strategic development.

Her specific interest in leading creative teams has led her to explore new methodologies of design while sharpening her unique creative perspective.

Samantha is capable working across a broad spectrum of design disciplines—but she has a thing for smart strategy, intentional branding, and advertising experiences that reach thousands, but seem to speak only to you.
