HOW DID YOU FIRST LEARN ABOUT TSH AND WHAT DREW YOU TO US?
I first learned about The Sampson House at the AAF awards. They sponsor the event and I was impressed with all the professional work. Toward my graduation, I was looking for jobs and I saw that they were hiring. After applying and interviewing, I was drawn to the company's culture and values. Everyone is very charismatic about the work they do, and I know as a designer, I will grow immensely.
