Sami worked in New York City as a fashion designer and founded her lingerie brand EUCLiD.
She interned at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Her work appeared in HumanShapes art film series directed by Nathan Kim.
Sami wanted to design astronaut spacesuits due to her father's influence as an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer.
Due to schedule conflicts, Sami designed and built a rhinestone costume in eight hours for River Gallo the night before filming. Sadé Clacken Joseph co-directed with River.
During the filming of Cap (2019), a scene required actress Medina Senghore to dive and swim in a dress. Knowing Medina was a beginner swimmer, Sami swam in the pool making sure she felt safe during the shoot.
