Who is she?
After graduating from Philadelphia University (RIP), Samantha Mola (Smash to those who know her well) worked up and down the Northeast Megalopolis, from New Hampshire, up to Maine, down to Philly again, but eventually found herself somewhere in between (Rhode Island). Learning the ins and outs of retail through Emerson Fry, Stonewall Kitchen, Anthropologie, before settling at J.Jill and really setting her teeth into the industry.
From end to end, she gets the online shopping experience. Whether its design, ideation, direction, typography, color, or just the vibe, she’s got an authoritative opinion you want to listen to. She knows what the consumer wants because she is a consumer herself. Immersed in the industry from both sides, she strives to improve and innovate the form in all ways she can affect.
Smash is a whizz at digital creative and loves the environment of a set. She’s got two young kids who love the beach (like her) and might just become Welsh lacrosse prodigies (like their dad). Immediate icebreakers include: Gilmore Girls, Harry Styles, and the best children’s clothing brands.
