About
My name is Samuel (Sammy) Laird
I am a graphic designer living in Orlando, Florida. I bring a unique twist in my design work by combining my previous theatrical experience into the world of graphic design. I am currently a cast member in the role of Production Support in creative costuming for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. I am also the acting graphic designer for a local business selling cleaning supplies called Marisol Solvents. I recently finished a project in which I recreated fabric patterns into art files for the animatronics costumes in “It’s A Small World”.
​
Having always been passionate about design, my earlier career consisted of theatrical scenic and costume design as well as focusing in scenic art. The skills acquired during the early parts of my career offer a unique perspective when doing graphic design and digital work. I aim to combine all of my design skills to produce the best possible design work as well as create and recreate patterns and vector art for various needs.
