Finding the Interesting in Every Day with Samantha Dion Baker

Samantha Dion Baker (@sdionbakerdesign) wasn’t looking for a career change when she began her daily sketching practice three years ago — but sometimes, change finds you. “Being a mom, the journal was the one thing that I could control and do every day,” says the Brooklyn-based illustrator, who comes from a long line of successful women artists. Each journal entry posted to her account is a combination of drawing and writing about Samantha’s interests and everyday life, whether she is sitting on the sidelines of her sons’ soccer games or strolling through a New York City art gallery or traveling abroad to Paris. Recent illustration clients — ranging from boutiques and restaurants to a couple wanting to commemorate their engagement — have all taken notice. “I really like this idea of a collection, of a record, of what’s mundane but also interesting,” Samantha says. “If you draw it, it becomes interesting. There is always something.”
