Sam Gan is a Melbourne based Art Director originally from New Zealand, working across TVCs and narrative projects.
She began her creative journey at just 21, starting as a Stylist at Ogilvy & Mather. She honed her skills across homewares, fashion, and food styling before making the leap across the ditch—where she discovered her passion for Art Direction.

Storytelling and representation are at the heart of Sam’s creative process and prides herself for creating fun, safe, and collaborative working environments. She brings her strong stylistic sensibility to every project, drawing from both her agency roots and narrative background.
