Hi, I'm Sam Buchanan. I've been studying at Swinburne intermittently since 2016 and it is hard to believe that this year will be my last. During my time away from study I ran my own small business and travelled Australia in a homemade house on wheels. As I have grown with each new experience, so too has the depth and breadth of my design work. I'm always looking toward my next adventure, and stepping into the Design industry might be my biggest one yet. It’s been a strange year and an interesting end to my studies, but I think slowing down has given me the chance to push myself creatively and I’m proud of the work I have completed. I'm incredibly passionate about the power of design to change cultures, perceptions and behaviours. I believe that good design does more than simply exist on the page, and no matter what area I find myself working in—branding, publication, packaging, motion—I’m looking forward to being part of an industry on the frontline of progress.
