My Story

Hi there! My name is Sam and I am the designer behind Samantha Hall Designs. I create thoughtfully inspired gifts featuring dogs, cats, nature, and animals. Creating emotional connections through ecofriendly, reduced-plastic products that capture the sensory experience of the outdoors.

Where it Started

Ever since I was small, I have loved to create and design. I loved to paint and draw when I was young. Many summers were spent creating while I was camping in France by the fireside with my parents. Once I was big enough to go to university, I went to the Manchester School of Art and aquired a degree in Printed Textiles.

I started my career as a Visual Merchandiser and I really enjoyed creating shop displays but there was always this itch to design patterns and to paint. One day I took the leap (my husband was a bit scared!) and I started my own business.

How I create

I have always been in love with the traditional methods of painting. One of my favourite types of paint to use is watercolours. I love to layer and how delicate my art can be by using this type of medium.  Once I have created motifs ready for pattern design, I then scan everything in and use Adobe Photoshop to create my patterns.

I am inspired by the great outdoors and British Wildlife.

What makes me Unique

  • A Greener Business

    With everything I do, I try not to use plastic or harsh chemicals. This could be in the packaging I use, the components that make up fabric or with branding and general office equipment.

  • Sustainable Manufacturing

    With regards to how I get my products made, I use local manufacturers within the UK and overseas who have excellent sustainability credentials. This can be big factories or small thriving little businesses. I love to support sustainable manufacturing.

  • I Design Every Product

    Every product is designed and created in my studio in Worthing. This includes greeting cards, notebooks, accessories, homewares and much more!
