Sam is an Art Director and XR Concept Designer working at the intersection of visual storytelling, creative direction, and immersive technology. Previously, she worked as a 3D/XR Concept Designer at Meta on the AR Glasses and Wearables team.

Beyond her professional work, Sam finds joy in oil painting, often spending time outdoors painting en plein air alongside her husband, Mike Khoury. After much of her career immersed in illustration, virtual reality, and emerging technologies, she has come to cherish the slower, more contemplative experience of observing and connecting with the world around her. She is continually exploring the possibilities of oil paint and enjoys the process of painting itself, from experimenting with different brushstrokes and layers of color to discovering the unique qualities of the medium. She is especially interested in how these elements can come together to capture the light, atmosphere, and feeling of a place. She hopes her paintings capture something of the experience of being in a place, the quality of its light, its atmosphere, and the feeling of simply being there.

Sam holds a BA in Illustration from Sheridan College.
