Meet the Designer

Samantha Echaves blends her love for technology, crafting, music, and animals as the founder of Nerdy Girl Quilt Co. By day, she works as a software engineer; by night, she is a creative force, bringing a modern twist to quilting through a custom software algorithm she developed to generate quilt patterns from images.

Her original pattern was inspired by a friend from her choir, where she sings tenor. Samantha wanted to create something modern and personalized, so she first sketched the design in Excel, coloring in cells until it matched her vision. Realizing she could automate the process, Nerdy Girl Quilt Co. was born. Today, she uses her algorithm to create quilt patterns with a special focus on music and animal-themed designs.

Whether she’s singing in the choir, designing a new quilt, or spending time with her family (both human and canine), Samantha brings the same dedication and passion to all her projects. Her love for animals, especially horses, also plays a significant role in her work, as she competes in endurance racing with her two Arabian mares. Nerdy Girl Quilt Co. specializes in creating personalized quilt patterns, blending music and animal themes, all powered by her unique combination of code and creativity.
