Samantha Tenhet
Owner/Designer
Hello! I'm Samantha (though friends call me Sammi), the designer and creative mind behind Draft One Studios.
Draft One Studios was born from a simple belief: every entrepreneur deserves a visual identity that captures their vision and connects with their audience—regardless of their company size.
After years of watching brilliant business ideas struggle to gain traction without the right visual presence, I founded Draft One Studios in 2024 with a mission to bridge that gap. I wanted to create a studio where entrepreneurs could transform their passion into a professional brand without navigating complex agency structures or settling for generic templates.
My Approach
When we work together, you're not just getting a designer—you're getting a creative partner invested in your success. I believe the best brands emerge from genuine collaboration, which is why I take the time to understand not just what your business does, but why it matters.
Every project at Draft One Studios follows a thoughtful process:
Listen - I start by understanding your vision, values, and goals
Explore - We collaborate to discover the visual elements that authentically represent your business
Create - I craft custom designs that translate your story into compelling visual assets
Refine - We perfect every detail until your brand truly reflects your unique identity
What Sets Us Apart
Unlike larger agencies where your project might be one of many, at Draft One Studios, your brand receives my undivided creative attention. This focused approach allows for:
Personalized service tailored to your specific needs
Direct communication without layers of account managers
Consistent quality across all your brand touchpoints
Flexible solutions that grow with your business
From logos that make an instant impression to websites that convert visitors into customers, every element is designed with purpose and precision.
Beyond the Design
I believe great branding goes beyond beautiful visuals—it's about creating experiences that build lasting relationships with your audience. That's why I don't just deliver files; I provide strategies for implementing your new brand effectively across all platforms.
And when your project is complete, I'm still here to support your growth with website maintenance packages and ongoing design services as your business evolves.

Lets Create Something Remarkable
Whether you're launching a new venture or refreshing an established brand, I'd love to help bring your vision to life.
Every great brand starts with a conversation—let's have one.

FAQs

I am located in Tulare County, California, but have also worked with people worldwide! I live on the west coast, have family in the midwest, and because graphic and visual arts are mainly digital assets, I have the availability to help no matter where you are located. As soon as you send me an inquiry form, we set up a phone call and go from there!

It does depend on the extent of the work you are wanting. I put a lot of pride and passion into my work and my top priority is authenticity and quality. Usually a logo redesign can be from 1-2 weeks, and a new logo design can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks with the first week being market research to make sure you are getting a one-of-a-kind design that represents the full essence of your business. Website designs tend to be 2-4 weeks.
