WHO WE ARE

Legacy Works was founded with purpose and intention. The name honors the late Frank Sampson, father of owner Jamar Sampson, whose wisdom and example continue to guide the work we do today. He often spoke about the importance of using one’s talents and intellect to build something meaningful through business.

Inspired by that philosophy, Legacy Works was created to carry forward his legacy—combining creativity, strategy, and service to help others tell their stories, communicate impact, and grow with intention. Every project reflects a commitment to excellence, purpose, and using our gifts to make a lasting difference.
