Sam Weavers
I’m Sam, a Graphic Design graduate turned developer. Currently Web/Frontend dev @ Kobami.com, working on Maid.Tech.

THAT'S ME!
A little bit about me
Born in Ontario, I grew up in the Hamilton area, but spent last summer living and exploring the great Northern British Columbia wilderness.
Apart from travelling, I spend the majority of my time cycling, tinkering with gadgets, or finding my next favourite sip at a local brewery.
My Journey explained... in tools
Having come from an alternative background, I believe the best way to tell my story is by the tools used throughout.
2016 - Ideation
After showing an interest in Graphic Design, my mother gave me the opportunity to create digital assets for her business event.
2020 - Exploring
Enrolled in the Graphic Design program at Mohawk College, I learned new tools, new skills and narrowed down what I wanted.
2022 - Narrowing
Picked the UX/UI stream at Mohawk, so I can focus on the web. I loved the idea of designing something real and tangible that people can use.
2023+ - Solidifying 🎉
I’ve learned that while creativity is fun, I really thrive in a structured environment. Coding has helped turn my problem solving passion into a career.
