ABOUT US
Samantha Connelly is the maker of all good things for 8-bit Hero Geek Novelties. After graduating from the University of South Dakota in 2012 with a degree in Spanish, Sam attempted to figure out what was the next step. She started making perler bead designs for her favorite anime characters, and officially in 2016 8-bit was born.
8-bit provided an outlet for Sam to practice her artistic skills, along with staying connected with her various nerdy/geeky fandoms. The business has expanded from there, with appearances at multiple conventions and art shows throughout the years. Along with a set of previously made items, Sam continues to look for new and excited challenges to make and takes commissions upon request.
​
When not crafting, Sam spends her time with friends and family, including her husband Mike and fur/hair-babies Puck, Mochi, and Yuki.
