Happy New Year!



Howdy, it's Sam Rauch. Here's your new year's card from me! I said I’d keep in touch, so here I am, complete with a highlight reel of what I’ve been up to. 


Working Nine to Five ♫


(If you didn’t sing this in your head, you’re doing it wrong.)

If you’re unaware, my main squeeze is doing graphic design, branding, and data viz in-house at Dimensional Fund Advisors. This year, my work made a splash at all kinds of industry events and on our socials, with more big projects on the way. Stay tuned! 






Creative Week at The One Club for Creativity


Along with my awesome team, I attended the One Show, visited all kinds of studios (thanks to Mother, BBDO, and TBWA), met all kinds of creative wizards, and ate a $22 bagel. Gotta love NYC prices. It was nice to meet so many of you there and see all the crazy cool work you do! Thanks to the One Club for Creativity for making the magic happen.

We were treated to seats at the Morning Buzz show each day!
My amazing team - Neha Tatavarthi, Me, Marc Smith Jr., Cora Veltman, and Kari Llanos
2025 ADC Awards
2025 One Show, hosted by Leslie Jones!

And if you still haven’t seen our award-winning Perdue Presents: Chicken Nugget Prom pitch that got us to creative week, it lives here:



Freelance Adventures


As always, I keep some freelance cooking. This year, I worked on everything from social graphics to salad dressing. I’ll even treat you to some super sneak preview stuff that’s not on the portfolio yet.  If you'd like to work with me, you know where to find me!


 


Thanks for adding some zest to my creative juices, and hope you had a good 2025 yourself. For bonus points, show me what you’ve been up to! Hit me back, tag me on LinkedIn, whatever. I wanna know where you’ve been!

Here’s to a sublime 2026!

- Sam
