Before launching her upholstery career, Sam worked as a Props Artisan for professional theatre, where she learned the basics of upholstery and developed a passion for recovering furniture. Over the past eight years, she has built a reputation for high-quality residential work while collaborating with museums, local shops, furniture makers, and designers.
