For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

Sam Hollasch

Hi there! I’m Sam, a designer, self-taught illustrator, and digital artist. I also love to travel, exercise, play volleyball, and cook.

A large part of my creative work is inspired by astronomy and cosmology. I enjoy creating speculative pieces which illustrate the possibilities of space travel, and the ways in which life may exist in the universe. My work in industrial design is heavily inspired in this way as well, as I try to create representations of the cosmos in everyday objects.

My design philosophy is to create what you love. I try to find the things that I’m truly passionate about, and embrace them with my creativity. When I truly enjoy the work that I’m doing, I find that the final product is instilled with the same imagination and curiosity I felt while creating it.
