Hi, I’m Samuel Mhabes, a versatile graphic designer and illustrator based in St. Louis, Missouri. I design covers, pages, and branding for coloring books and hospitality brands, bringing ideas to life with bold typography, clean layouts, and engaging visuals. I love turning concepts into print-ready and digital-ready designs that pop in stores, on menus, and across social media. When I’m not designing, I enjoy exploring color systems, typography, and layout ideas, collaborating with clients to deliver memorable visuals, and helping teams create exceptional guest experiences through thoughtful design and communication.

    uniE621 Saint Louis Community College new logo concept
    As a former alumni of St. Louis Community College, I always felt like their logo needed a new modern update to it. This was a concept I came up with for an update! logo graphicdesigner illustrator branding
    uniE621 Final Scene Escape Room concept
    I always said if I were to start my own business, it would be an escape room. I had the opportunity to create an entire brand off of what I would base my business as! It is called Final Scene Escape Room, and is a movie themed center where each room is themed from a different movie. Like Back to the Future, Avengers, and Mission Impossible. This was so fun to make and it turned out exactly how I wanted it. photo logo graphicdesigner branding
