Graphic Designer | Watercolor Artist
I’m Samantha Carpenter, a designer and artist based on the East Coast. I have over five years of experience in graphic design, including studio and agency work, and I currently lead global design projects at CoStar Group (the world’s largest commercial real estate data provider, owning 15+ brands, publicly traded, $2.7B revenue, 8,000+ employees). In my current role, I support and guide designs across multiple brands, collaborating on high-visibility initiatives in hospitality, real estate, and technology. My work is grounded in strategy, strong visual systems, and creating engaging designs that last.
Beyond my corporate design career, I am a watercolor artist inspired by vibrant color, elegant forms, and everyday beauty. I take on commissions including custom wedding invitations and house portraits, crafting each piece with care and attention to detail.
I earned my BFA in Graphic Design, graduating summa cum laude from The George Washington University at The Corcoran College of the Arts and Design. In 2020, I co-founded Girlz By Design, a nonprofit offering design-thinking workshops for high school students.
Whether leading design initiatives for global brands or painting commissioned artwork, I strive to create work that connects, inspires, and endures.
