Samara Watkiss
Head of Design, Click Security
United States
Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Samara studied art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and Cross-Cultural Communication with a focus on Spanish and Arabic at Tufts University. She arrived at interaction design as a profession and calling by pursuing the most inspiring aspects of her work as a set designer, pedal-powered machine builder, graphic designer and refugee-liaison and asking how all of these are connected. She worked as an Interaction Designer at InContext Design in Boston, then moved to Austin, TX to complete a degree in Interaction Design and Social Entrepreneurship at the Austin Center for Design. She now heads up the design team at Click Security, an Austin-based network security company.
