Samantha has been working in the Superyacht Industry since 1997, witnessing and contributing to its remarkable evolution. For 13 years, she honed her skills at sea, introducing structure and processes to yachts and projects that previously lacked them.

Her background is deeply rooted in design, construction and processes, giving her a comprehensive perspective on all aspects of maritime life.

For the past 10 years, she has served as a client representative and interior consultant for a prominent yachting family.
