We work in objects, atmosphere, and other things that are hard to explain at parties.

SAMA Los Angeles is a creative studio exploring object, material, and atmosphere.

Working across form and functional pieces, the studio approaches each creation as part of a larger sensory environment. Designed to shift mood, hold presence, and live quietly within a space.

Rooted in a multidisciplinary background, SAMA moves fluidly between mediums, with an emphasis on restraint, balance, and emotional resonance.

I’ve always been drawn to the space between idea and form.

My work has taken me through many mediums—beauty, photography, tattooing—but the throughline has always been the same: translating something felt into something physical.

SAMA is an extension of that instinct, expressed in a quieter way.

I’m interested in creating pieces that don’t demand attention, but hold it. Objects that feel considered, grounded, and in conversation with their environment.

This is part of an ongoing evolution—both in my work and in how I want to live.

SAMA began as a personal shift.

After years spent working in fast-paced creative industries, there was a growing need to slow down—to create work that felt more grounded, tactile, and connected to everyday experience.

What began through scent and small-batch candle making has evolved into a broader exploration of form, material, and the role objects play in shaping how we feel within a space.

At its core, SAMA is about returning to presence.

Each piece is developed with a focus on material, form, and longevity.

The process is intentionally small and considered, allowing space to explore how objects exist within a room—how they sit, how they interact with light, and how they are experienced over time.

Materials are selected with care, with an emphasis on simplicity, reuse, and thoughtful production.

Designed to be experienced slowly.
