About Me

About Me

Sam Bartley, Owner

Hi, I am Sam! I am a queer non-binary fiber artist living in Seattle, WA. I read romance and fantasy as if that’s my only source of oxygen, and I am a huge believer that buying yarn and making things with yarn are two VERY different hobbies. I create crochet and knitwear that *I* want to wear, and it’s not always the “hottest trending thing”, but it IS always cute as hell and comfy af.

Outside of this little space of the internet I am a community, social media, and influencer manager for a video game studio, as well as a content and social media manager for a handful of small businesses and influencers. I love taking everything I’ve learned over the past decade and sharing that with people who just want to reach for their stars. If I can help them land among them, I’ve done my job.

If you’re interested in working together, send me an email – Sam@SamBartley.com


AI and SamBartleyDesigns

Sam does not and will not use AI for anything they create, or at all, and if you can’t tell, check out how many commas I put into my writing. Or how often I go between first and third person.. Or, well, you get the picture. AI ain’t got nothing on me.

But no seriously, I don’t use AI and I am pretty anti-AI if I am being honest. It’s destroying the planet and every time you upload something into the little ai machine you are giving that little machine full and unbridled permission to make and do whatever the hell they want to with it, full stop.

It’s why I worked with The Dizzys to create my character art, my emotes, and my animated screens for my Twitch stream. That’s all them, and I am still so stoked with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for new art work, I HIGHLY recommend those two. They are delightful humans, incredible artists, and just some top tier people to work with.
