Samantha’s Story:

“I was born an only child, raised, and lived until 18 in a then 3,000 population town in the Penna Dutch Region of PA. By 16 you could most often find me speeding away from the dirt driveway of my parents home & sleeping in my car by industrial ruins near the New Jersey border. During this time I carried a camera with me everywhere I went, documenting the strange youth I was a part of.

At 18 I stumbled into one of the two colleges I applied to in upstate New York. Thee years later & two weeks after turning 21 I moved to NYC. I have lived there until now- at age 24 I am freshly transplanted into Northern California. During that time I have taken all of my creative discoveries & tied them into my brand, OZMA (autonomy).

My line mostly consists of seasonal jewelry collections that carry a specific theme. I style the shoots with vintage clothing that I also sell and I photograph & edit the images myself.  It is a label that is meant to inspire all of us to live up to our dreams & succeed in them. Over the last year my partner & I have traveled with my brand selling items in cities across the US as well as abroad in Europe – this is just the beginning! I believe that each item has a story to tell & we are all part of this great story.”
