The Harmonious Saboteur was born in Nottingham. Growing up in the Brian Clough era she is inevitably a football fan. Thankfully, she was too young to absorb his management philosophy, which was only harmonious as long as everyone agreed with him 101%. Sam trained and worked as a designer before moving up to organise the studio and manage the careers of creative people. She believes that, contrary to the popular belief, creative people work best in a calm, thoughtful and considerate atmosphere. This is also something she practises at home where she has three boys, including her husband, who is a highly-respected designer. As a relaxation Sam loves to browse in charity shops, which combines the delight of a great find with the satisfaction of contributing to a good cause, a truly harmonious outcome.
