Hi, my name is Sammy
Harper

I'm a green tech founder, designer, and dreamer.

A little more about me…

I'm an imaginative and motivated designer with more than 8 years of web, graphic, and UI/UX design experience. From coding in Batch at 12 years old to developing entire design libraries today, I am still excited by the creative possibilities of technology. As a designer, I strive to to change the world with my creative ideas, not just share them.

A little more about my work…

Terrabyte is a passion project-turned green tech startup I founded to bring environmentalism to everyday people. Think climate edutainment + nature-focused developer tools. We're laying the building blocks for a sustainable future by making environmentalism approachable, accessible, and actionable.

Pixel Planet Today

Environmental
Creative
Research

The project that kicked off my drive to combine environmentalism, design, and technology. Pixel Planet Today, initially a 'Design 365' project, combines pixel art designs with facts about the planet. The project core is found in its social media posts, but it has since expanded to include eco-merch, blog posts, and other content.

Wasted Space

Environmental
Creative
Software
Interactive

Wasted Space is a classic arcade game that drives home the idea of reusing and recycling. In the game, players fly a spaceship through endless enemies and collect materials from destroyed ships in order to upgrade their own. In pixel art fashion, environmental education in game isn't as in your face as other projects, making it a lot more approachable to casual players.

Environmental
Software
Interactive

A simple note-taking app inspired by, you guessed it, pixel art. byteOS: Notes is designed to be as lightweight as possible, making it eco-friendly while also helping you break-free from AI and the cloud. The basic version of the app is published on the Google Play Store, but plenty of updates are in the works to add more features and functionality.

The Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired initially reached out to me about redesigning their logo for their 20th anniversary, but has since led to additional design projects like business cards and social media images. I am incredibly fortunate to continue working with an agency that provides necessary services to those that need it.

Eva Therapeutic Wellbeing

Company Website Redesign & Build

Creative
Client

While I was working as a Multimedia Work Study Student in the Center for Entrepreneurship and Rural Development office at UNK, I was approached to build a website for a new small business, Eva Therapeutic Wellbeing. The owner, Eva, and I clicked very early on in the process, and she has been a joy of a client ever since. Since the initial build in 2017, I have rebuilt her website and worked with her on adding more content to the site.

Product Redesign & Build

Software
Interactive
Client

One of Beavercreek Marketing's cornerstone products is the Online Education Center (OEC) that clients use to promote their products and learn their capabilities. But with an 1990s aesthetic, and features left to be desired, they asked me to redesign and build the components needed to rebrand the OEC.

Beavercreek Marketing - Design Previewer

Product Design & Build

Software
Interactive
Client

In order to display what a custom branded product would look like for a client, Beavercreek Marketing needed a way to preview the design, showcase the color palette, and see embedded images. I designed (and developed basic functionality for) a custom web wrapper that acted as a bridge between clients and branding specialists.
