Past Studio Work
Fruit Salad — Sustainable Gardening & Material ReuseCollaborative project completed with two fellow students at the Boston Architectural College, exploring strategies for reducing construction and demolition waste through creative reuse. The project investigated ways to reintroduce gardening into communities and everyday living spaces, with my individual work focusing on repurposing discarded air conditioning units into compact gardening systems for apartment residents without access to outdoor spaces.I also developed a series of fruit-inspired character mascots representing our team's personalities. These characters became a recurring visual theme across our collaborative projects, establishing a playful and cohesive team identity through illustration and color.

HELLO!
My name is Samantha Cuevas, and I am a multidisciplinary designer with a background in digital media, illustration, and game design, currently pursuing a Master of Architecture at the University of Florida's CityLab Orlando alongside a certificate in Themed Environment Integration.I'm passionate about exploring the ways design and storytelling can come together to create meaningful, immersive experiences. From developing characters and imaginative worlds to exploring architectural spaces and themed environments, I love bringing ideas to life through visual communication, concept development, and 3D modeling. I'm especially interested in the intersection of architecture, themed entertainment, and experiential design, where creativity and the built environment work together to transport people into new worlds.Since childhood, I've always carried a pencil and a notebook filled with sketches, stories, and ideas. Although my creative process has expanded into digital art, 3D modeling, and architectural design, that little notebook remains close by, ready to capture whatever idea comes next.I'm always eager to learn, experiment with new tools, and challenge myself creatively. Whether I'm exploring a new design approach or developing an idea from its earliest sketches, I love the process of turning imagination into something tangible. For me, there's always another world to discover, another idea to explore, and another opportunity to create something meaningful.
