About Me

I'm a Nashville based designer who has a passion for designing user-centric products. From refining digital products at Apple to implementing project management systems in Nashville’s booming commercial real estate industry, I have experience partnering with teams across a variety of industries to provide the best experience for end users. My mission is to design products that feel more human, allowing users to connect with brands and platforms.

I take pride in my ability to take ownership of each phase of the design thinking process: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test. Whether designing a digital product from the ground up, redesigning a brand platform and style guide, or refining a product feature, I have the ability to ask the right questions, see the big picture, and bring a product’s potential to life.

Outside of work, I enjoy adventuring with my wife and dog outdoors, traveling, watching European soccer, running, and writing and recording music. Fun Fact: When searching for "Sam Coppenger" online, you just might find a five-song EP on Spotify, Apple Music, and all other major music platforms.
