Country Kitchens

After studying fine arts abroad in France and Ireland, I began my career in visual arts and design trying out jobs in fields like French language media advertisements, jewelry design, pottery, and photoshop/photography services before parlaying those skills into designing for the kitchen and bath industry. I've found a home in the interior design field, and for the past 10 years, I've worked exclusively for online cabinetry retailers while steadily gaining knowledge of nearly every aspect of this business, working my way up the ranks, and designing just about every commercial and residential space you can think of!

My work has been featured in various blogs, and promotional materials, as well as in different design shows nationally. You'll find design advice from myself and our team here in publications such as Homes & Gardens, Apartment Therapy, and The Kitchn, among others. These days, you'll find me bouncing between duties and keeping everything on track for our customers while our team works hard to deliver beautiful, custom designs at affordable prices.

I love spending time in the kitchen cooking French delicacies and baking all sorts of cakes and pastries and I believe spending so much time in this space makes me a better designer because I think it through from both a design and home cook perspective. I still paint and make pottery and on the weekends, you'll often find me participating in local art shows. When no art festivals are going on, I'll be attending as many concerts as I can get to! I also greatly enjoy traveling, swimming, kayaking, spending time with my animals, listening to music, and watching old movies.

I'm so happy you're here and I can't wait to design with you.

Hello! My name is Samantha, but everyone calls me Sam! I am a 24 year old interior designer located in Pennsylvania where I grew up. I began my interior design journey at 18 years old where I studied with the New York Institute of Art & Design (NYIAD) and began with interior decorating and worked my way to the kitchen and bath industry! I kicked things off as a kitchen and bath design assistant for a full-home renovation firm, where I had the hands-on experience of transforming kitchens, baths, laundry rooms, and plenty more from the ground up. Fast forward, and I landed at Country Kitchens where I've spent the last two years as an interior designer. It's been an incredible experience, and I'm so grateful to be part of a team that allows me to bring my creative vision to life while helping people create their dream kitchens.

When I'm not designing, you'll probably find me reading, spending time with my friends, hitting the gym, building Legos, or hanging out with my cat, Pumpkin. My main goal in life is to make myself and others smile, laugh, and have fun, which I like to bring into my work environment as well.

I can't wait to help bring your dream space to life!

I began my career in high school with a love of computer aided drafting and continued my college education in architectural drafting, space planning, and landscape design in Colorado, specializing in kitchens and baths. I hold myself to National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) standards and the International Building Codes. You will find that I strive to make every kitchen as functional as possible as well as attractive with trusted material suggestions.

When not drafting at my computer or researching kitchen design trends, you will often find me near or in the water. I’m the first mermaid of Wyoming and love to entertain children with a flip of my tail. You can also find me fishing along the North Platte River on a summer day or up in the mountains along the creeks.

I have worked with a variety of companies and had opportunities to work with Grey’s Anatomy, Property Brothers, and Cash Pad. You may have seen my work without even realizing it! I joined Country Kitchens at the end of 2024 and look forward to expanding our reach in providing quality designs and cabinets for customers across the US.

I am a dedicated design professional with over a decade of experience in the field. While my background as an interior designer and kitchen designer has provided a comprehensive understanding of spatial planning and aesthetic principles, my current role at Country Kitchens focuses on leveraging this expertise to support and guide clients at the start of their design journey.

With a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Interior Design from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, I effectively integrate my formal education with a substantial history of successful client engagements. I remain committed to a client-centric philosophy, prioritizing a thorough understanding of individual needs and preferences to provide expert guidance and support. Driven by a passion for facilitating the creation of comfortable and inspiring spaces, I am dedicated to helping clients navigate the design process and realize their unique home aspirations.

My extensive knowledge allows me to offer valuable insights and assistance, ensuring a collaborative and rewarding experience as clients bring their ideal spaces to life.
