My name is Sam Arriaza, and I am a product design student passionate about creating functional, aesthetic products with a strong focus on craftsmanship and detail. I enjoy the blend of digital precision of CAD, with the hands-on aspect of creating pieces that feel and look intentional, refined, and built to last. I am especially drawn to custom furniture, lighting design, and fashion design. Materials such as wood, metal, fabric, and plastics are my choice when working on any project, I like the interaction between natural and synthetic materials.

My goal is to create products that are both visually compelling and genuinely useful.

When I am not designing, you’ll find me playing sports, camping, or spending time with friends. Experiences inspire me to create durable, human-centered products that are pleasing to the eye.
