Marin Rowing Association is a private rowing club in Marin County that cultivates highly skilled, competitive athletes at both high school and adult levels. Having won multiple National and Olympic titles over the last 50 years, MRA was in dire need of an identity that clearly reflected the caliber of their association while graciously inviting new members into their community.
My name is Sam Kraus and I’m a graphic, product, and website designer from the San Francisco, Bay Area. In the past decade, I’ve launched two apparel businesses, designed absurdly soft clothing for an iconic California lifestyle brand, and created eye-catching packaging for an award-winning consumer electronics company. Today, I create brand identities and websites for individuals and small businesses seeking to stand out in their industry. I approach each project with curiosity and patience. My goal is not only to realize the client’s needs but to consider the user’s experience functionally, emotionally, and aesthetically.
I am currently pursuing my interests in architecture, sustainability, and the connection between people and place.
