HOW TO CREATE A CARDANO WALLET AND MAKE A PURCHASE ON ARTANO
ARTIST IN RESIDENCE / VIRTUAL SAMPLE MAKER
Fashion has been part of Sam’s DNA and it would seem that his talent and drive has made his
entry into and subsequent impact on the world of fashion, inevitable. He was born into a family
of creatives – his mother a textile designer and fine artist and both of his older sisters studying
fashion at University before going onto to work in high fashion.
Sam’s clothing design career started with a BTEC degree in Textiles in the UK. Sam has been
designing and making clothes, including his own, for years and as a fan of bold colors and
extravagant designs, Alexander McQueen has always been his favorite inspiration. In 2020 he
began employing the digital fashion design software Clo3D enabling him to further develop his
virtual design skillsets.
Sam’s expertise with complex software as well as his design sense brought him to the attention
of Modern Mirror where he is an Artist in Residence and a Virtual Sample Maker and outside of
work he continues to work on his own collection. Prior to joining Modern Mirror Sam’s digital
collection was featured at Metafash’s “digital-only fashion week, the first immaterial fashion
week held in Brazil and Latin America.” He came up with his own theme and created three
different outfits for both men and women that were featured in the digital fashion week.
Sam is challenging the societal expectations and perceptions of people with Down syndrome with his creativity and technical abilities in this field. However, despite living in a world that often limits opportunities
for those with such conditions based on perceived ability, he has proven that his neurodiversity
will not stand in the way of his creative potential and fashion design career.
For Sam this is just the beginning of what will surely be a long and successful career in the
fashion industry.
“My dream is to have Viktoria walk down the catwalk in my clothes and have the audience
applaud on the designs and her.” – Samuel Goodyear

Viktoria Modesta is a bionic pop artist, entrepreneur, and creative director.
Originally from post-USSR Latvia, Viktoria's formative period was spent living
in England, drawing inspiration and spirit from the avant-garde subculture,
music and art scenes of London. Currently living in Los Angeles she has
established herself as a recording artist and a leader, connector and
innovator in the post-disability community, bridging pop culture and art with
academia, medicine and brands in hyper collaborative multimedia

Viktoria first stepped onto the global stage with her perennially viral
music/art video Prototype. Tallying hundreds of million views across the
internet and television, her arresting post-disability design and sound
introduced Viktoria as the world's first Bionic Pop Artist. She is most known
for her hyper-stylized performances across the globe, such as the closing

inclusivity forward in entertainment.
An MIT Media Lab Fellow of 6 years and a member of the Young European
Leaders programme, Viktoria continuously explores the impact of technology
and inclusive design on the future of human lifestyle and culture. Her life
story has been recognized around the world as a testament of human
strength and a transformative approach to modern identity: Barack Obama
chose Viktoria to profile for his guest-edited WIRED magazine issue, and she
has recently been selected as an ambassador and space trainee the first
ever inclusive space programme "Mission Astro Access."
She has become a household name amongst the digital renaissance of
futurist artists – working across crypto art, digital fashion and virtual identity.
