SAM AQUILLANO

I’m a freelance designer, project manager, and educator. I am Founder and Director of Design Museum Boston. With a passion for design, creativity, and learning, I create a long term vision for the museum and lead a team of over thirty volunteers, while also managing key programs and day-to-day operations. I am also a practicing freelance designer and project manager, leading projects and helping companies translate customer needs into unique product experiences. 

As an adjunct lecturer at Wentworth Institute of Technology and Massachusetts College of Art and Design, I’m bringing my product design experience to the next generation of designers. I earned a BFA in Industrial Design from Rochester Institute of Technology and I’m currently an MBA candidate at Babson College in Wellesley, MA. I love to run, cook, and eat (usually in that order).
