The Artist
Samantha Harrell, the founder and illustrator of Sam Louise & Co., is a visionary creative in the world of fashion. With a BFA in fashion design from the prestigious SCAD, Sam honed her craft and developed a keen eye for the intersection of art and fashion. After gaining invaluable industry experience, she made the bold decision to depart from her traditional fashion design role in 2020 and pivot towards her true passion for fashion illustration.
Combining her design knowledge and innate artistic talent, Sam embarked on an entrepreneurial journey that started with the birth of Sam Louise, a fashion illustration brand. In 2021, Sam Louise transformed into Sam Louise & Co.—a lifestyle e-commerce boutique that has grown to include accessories, home decor, and gifts that feature fashion illustrations, bridal art, floral prints, and more. While Sam is no longer just a fashion illustrator, her use of color and contrast in a feminine manner has remained consistent across her art, and her hand-illustrated designs are the heart of Sam Louise & Co.
The Brand
Our journey began as a fashion illustration brand and has since evolved into a thriving lifestyle e-commerce boutique.

From custom illustrations and art prints to accessories and home goods, our brand is dedicated to elevating the everyday experience with an infusion of art and style.
The Art Process
Sam demonstrates a diverse approach in her creative process. With a preference for artist pens and professional markers, she employs bold strokes and vibrant colors to hand-illustrate her works. Additionally, Sam seamlessly incorporates digital tools, allowing her to enhance and refine the finer details while staying true to the authentic, handcrafted essence of her art.
