About
Sam Joseph is a multidisciplinary designer at the intersection of art and design, specialising in spatial narratives with an MA in Interior Design from the Royal College of Art and a graduate of Central Saint Martins in Fashion and Communication. Sam’s work critically explores the repurposing of spaces in response to social and environmental needs with a strong focus on gender-based violence. Her practice is rooted in over 20 years of experience across multiple creative disciplines, drawing from design, education, film, photography, and the use of lighting to evoke emotional atmospheres. Sam’s work seeks to draw attention to societal issues which are often overlooked or hidden - challenging conventional interior design perceptions through contribution for public discourse. By blending traditional methods with new technologies, Sam’s work creates immersive experiences which encourage viewers to rethink their relationship with the world. Sam uses her challenges of neurodivergence and visual impairment as catalysts for creativity and inspiring meaningful change through her design practice.
Why Did(n’t) You Leave?, is a powerful and meaningful project which aims to highlight the significance of creating empowering environments for survivors of domestic abuse. It advocates for societal change and increased funding to support women and marginalised groups in urban environments. Central to the project is the repurposing of a former factory on Gillender Street, London, into a safe transitional home, community education centre and art gallery addressing societal norms and gender based violence.
