The work of Adrian Samarra. Entrepreneur, creative, professional figure-it-outer.
Filmmaking, van building, product & systems development. The craft changes but the approach doesn't. Go deep, get technical, work really hard, make it excellent.
I don't just solve problems. I obsess over them until the work speaks for itself.
About
hello, I'm Adrian.👋 Barcelona born, British raised, Utah based. Always working on something.
I started in film, co-founding Coldhouse Collective, a media agency focused on adventure storytelling. I spent years telling stories from remote corners of the world. In 2018 I moved to Utah and founded Converted Van Co, a custom van conversion company. Somewhere along the way I realized what drives me: using technical skill to untangle complicated problems and make ideas real.
These days I lead product development and supply chain at Kiln, a co-working and lifestyle brand. I run the tech behind my wife's yoga school and podcast, and DJ around Utah when time allows.
New tools, new tech, new problems. I can't help but stay current. Staying still has never worked for me.
