You've most likely already seen designs from Sammy Gorin, and just not known it. This young New York-based artist and musician has quickly made a name for herself in stationery and gifts by turning pop culture moments into fantastically fun and funny art prints, stickers, cards, and pens. But rather than satirizing the topical domain with, say, a spellbindingly clever Taylor Swift sticker, Sammy Rich recently found herself in the social media spotlight.
Owed over $25,000 by the retailer Francesca's and unable to get a response, Sammy (alongside several other makers in the same situation) shot herself a little vlog — actually her first! — and posted it. It went viral, receiving at least 236,000 views on Instagram and 275,000 on TikTok — along with several stitches and comments running the gamut from approving to acrimonious. But Sammy stayed focused on her invoices. Fortunately, her vlog soon got the attention of the Francesca's CEO, who scheduled a call with Sammy and got her paid.
Sammy chose to take the video down, but drops in The Paper Fold to expand on her backstory and experience. For Sammy, going viral included new followers and sales, but also victim-blaming and adversarial store managers. Beyond all social media pandamonium however, Sammy has emerged from the situation to provide plenty of wisdom (and more than a little wit) for today's indie makers.
