Samantha Winland grew up in a small industrial town in the Midwest, where old brick factories and decaying abandoned residences stood as constant reminders of the past. As a little girl, she didn’t just see those buildings as worn out—she saw possibility. She dreamed of what they were and what they could become if given a second life. That early curiosity planted the seed for what would become a career in design.
 

That spark led her to attend Kent State University for a Bachelor’s degree in architecture and later to the NewSchool of Architecture for a Masters degree in architecture. Over the past 14 years, she's had the privilege of working across both trades of architecture and interior design, learning how spaces can truly shape the way we feel and live. What excites her most is how design can engage all of our senses. Spaces aren’t just something we see—they’re something we hear, touch, and even sense in subtle, emotional ways. Her passion lies in exploring how varied environments can speak to the vast range of human preferences and perceptions, creating places that feel alive, layered, and deeply personal. At the heart of her work is a simple belief: design is about more than buildings and interiors—it’s about crafting experiences that connect us to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us.
