The design for the wonderful Samuel Perkins was based on his interview where he shared his thoughts on community, sharing and his visual art practice.

Visual Artist Samuel shared his love of colour and unusual different things, describing how he is an expressive person and some of his creative approaches to keeping healthy and
motivated. Samuel explained how he builds walking into his life and controls social media use, and the importance of sharing information in plenty of time.
Within his interview Samuel shared how he supports others in fundraising campaigns and his passion to support the local deaf art community. Similar to his mother, Samuel has a ‘go with the flow’ attitude, while also sharing a core trait of his in remaining curious, always asking why and needing to know information, inspiring his ‘Alice in Wonderland’ themed design.
