Who is Sammy?
Good question! But let’s be real—it’s not a simple answer, is it? We’re all made up of countless layers, shaped by experiences, and evolving each day.
For me, I’ve always been a little "Off The Grid"—see what I did there? Creativity has been at the core of my being. I’m a dreamer, a vision-chaser, the type to say, “YES!” long before I have every detail worked out. To me, not taking the risk is a lot scarier than failure. In fact, I don’t really believe in failure—only growth and learning.
One of my biggest learning experiences was my journey to become a Registered Nurse. It was challenging, transformative, and gave me so many life skills that I’m forever grateful for.
The Birth of Sammy Off The Grid
In November 2014, I started upcycling flannels, and that’s when Sammy Off The Grid truly came to life. Over the past decade, SOTG has evolved with me, expanding from custom clothing design to a full range of style services that embrace the uniqueness of each client. I believe style should be personal, not defined by trends. It’s about bringing out confidence and individuality. My services now include personal styling, closet revamps, and even customized clothing for those who want to be bold and unique.
My Journey with Clean Beauty
While SOTG was growing, so was my passion for clean beauty. I took a leap into the skincare and makeup world, becoming an advocate for safer products and ethical practices. Partnering with Beautycounter was a pivotal experience that broadened my understanding of the industry’s gaps in ingredient safety. Over 6.5 years, I was honored to stand alongside other advocates and even took those concerns to Washington, D.C. to push for real change. Now, I’ve moved beyond any one brand to explore and curate the best of clean beauty, bringing my audience a range of products and routines that truly align with a cleaner, healthier lifestyle.
So, What’s Next?
Sammy Off The Grid is a reflection of who I am—a little bold, a little offbeat, and passionate about making people feel amazing in their skin and their style. Whether it’s a personalized style overhaul, a dive into clean beauty, or a custom piece made just for you, I’m here for it.
Let’s celebrate the beauty of the unknown together, and embrace our passions, dreams, and fearless, unique styles that make us feel truly us.
Cheers to being bold,
Sammy
