Samantha Carter

Samantha Carter knows what makes a home feel like one — and she's spent the better part of 14 years proving it. Based in Flint, Michigan, Samantha brings a Certified Interior Decorator credential and a B.S. in Interior Design from Ferris State University to her role as gift curator at Presentlike, where she covers Home & Living and Decor Gifts. Her background spans residential styling, boutique home goods retail, and consulting for three independent Michigan gift shops — plus décor guides that reached 40,000 readers regionally. She also coordinated donated furnishings for 12 transitional housing units through a local nonprofit, which says a lot about how she thinks about home. She personally owns 11 throw blankets, each assigned its own season.
