Sam M senior WordPress developer and brand identity designer at Pixalty

Hello, I’m Sam.

“When you say something vague like ‘cool and modern’—I know exactly what you mean.”

As the founder and principal web designer & developer at Pixalty, I help businesses transform abstract ideas into powerful, high-converting digital realities. Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked alongside innovative brands, startups, and creative agencies to bridge the gap between artistic visual storytelling and clean, robust web engineering.

My mission is simple: To empower small businesses, startups, and enterprises with custom digital identities that build immediate trust, dominate search engine rankings, and convert visitors into loyal clients.

    Sam and I worked together in 2015 – he was a designer, and I was a consultant for Deep Blue C (http://deepbluec.com/). Sam is a brilliant designer, and was instrumental in the development of the Deep Blue C brand. He captured the client’s vision really well and made a lot of recommendations that were adopted. He’s launching his own brand now, and with his eye for modern aesthetics I expect him to do really well in today’s market.

  • Final product is always of a superior quality

    We’ve used Sampath for the past two years of publications in addition to several graphic design projects, and he’s qualified, responsive and very capable, with a great eye for design. He did an excellent job on the cover design for both Story Sprouts: Voice and Kayla Wayman, Teen Time Traveler: Lost in the Stream, creating the print cover as well as an e-book cover design. In addition, Sampath created bookmarks to promote the past three years of publications. We are very pleased with his ability and flexibility, and thankful for his patience working tirelessly to try several options until getting it just right. (It’s hard to please two picky editors at the same time!) Upon receipt of basic artwork and a theme, Sampath creates several initial options that serve as a jumping-of point for the final product. Through regular communication, the final product is always of a superior quality. We will definitely use him again, and hope to continue a partnership based on his book cover design and promotions for CBW–LA Publications for years in the future!
