​I managed Samrudha at a time when our organization was pursuing major innovations and undergoing rapid change that demanded both precision and efficiency from every member. Sam rose to the occasion. I regularly asked him to take on design and brand identity projects with tight timelines, and each time he approached the given assignment with a calm, can-do attitude. Despite the urgency of much of our work, Sam never put his creativity on the back burner or allowed the quality of his work to falter. In addition to his material contributions to our projects, Sam brought a lighthearted and genuinely friendly demeanor to work with him every day and forged meaningful friendships with colleagues almost instantly. It would be my pleasure to work with him again sometime in the future.
