Sam Berde

Videographer | Motion Designer | Artist

Growing up in Seattle, I spent my free time drawing, reading, watching movies, and swimming competitively. The stories I read and scenes I watched fueled my creativity, while competitive swimming taught me discipline and patience. Early on, I realized there was nothing I wanted more than to create my own stories.

Studying graphic design and strategic communication in college showed me there are more ways to bring life to ideas than with paint and pencils. More than ever, I am driven to combine my skillset and perspective to continue creating meaningful content and evolving as an artist.
