Hi, I'm Sam
I'm an engineering manager with a passion for social responsibility. Philadelphia and New York have been my home for the last few years. Professionaly, I've worked to improve the mental health care and climate industries. On my own time I strive to make a positive difference wherever I am and partake in too many hobbies along the way.

Personal projects
This was my most complicated project yet. What you see here is one of two identical nightstands that match a queen size bed I made. Many hours of patient toiling turned into a set of furniture that I am immensly proud to use every day. Designs by Foureyes Furniture
I didn't intend to get into astronomy, but after taking one look at Saturn's rings with my own eyes - I knew I was hooked.
Making this thing in a small Brooklyn apartment was quite the challenge!
I've been making my own wallet since 7th grade. I iterate on my design every year or so on my quest for wallet perfection. This is my lastest design - the backflip wallet.
A fun frame for a fun print! The shape of this frame was inspired by some wild mushrooms I saw on a hike that were growing in the knothole of a tree.
Left-handed Japanese tools are hard to find. So, I decided to make one myself. This is my take on a traditional wood marking knife.
Got a woodburning iron as a gift and it turned out to be a pen that deletes wood. Really fun to use!
Another hobby of mine that started in 7th grade and came back to life recently was origami. Making little paper animals has turned into quite the productive fidgeting activity.
Dovetails are hard. This box took a long time. Every minute was worth it though to learn a new skill and give that little bronze eagle a worthy display case.
