Excerpt from DC Magazine Dynamic Women Profile 

“As a master of form and function, Samantha Friedman embodies the essence of a Dynamic Woman. Throughout her career, she has been devoted to the art of design and finds deep fulfillment in reimagining spaces that improve the quality of people’s lives.

Samantha’s positive outlook and drive are inspired by her 99-year-old grandmother, whose life, filled with optimism despite challenges, has taught her the value of love, making life count, and an incredible desire to always see the best in everything.

Samantha’s definition of a dynamic woman—“one who gracefully navigates challenges with a strong passion for her work and personal life, finding joy and purpose in making a positive impact in the lives of others”—mirrors her own professional journey. While interviewing for interior design jobs with other business owners, Samantha determined she could be as successful as they were on her own.

With confidence in her vision, she knew there was room in the industry for her unique ability to connect deeply with clients, solve design challenges, and create spaces that resonate and enrich lives. Samantha took the most significant risk in her career by establishing her business at a young age—a decision that has paid off due to her incredible work ethic and strength in facing obstacles.

Off the clock, Friedman’s love for adventure takes her and her family around the globe. Having lived in New York and Florida, she frequently travels to these areas to provide interior design services to clients who value her approach and design philosophy.

A balance of passion, resilience, risk-taking, and a love for exploration underpins Samantha Friedman’s identity as a dynamic woman, making her a notable figure in her field and a role model for aspiring professionals everywhere.”
