Meet Saint Williams of Atlanta, Ga

Today we’d like to introduce you to Saint Williams.

Saint, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My name is Rah’Mere Williams but I go by Saint.

My story started in 2018. I was on the edge almost homeless, angry, lost but still chasing a feeling. Not fame. Not money. Just the desire to create something that meant something.

I’m from Vineland, New Jersey. Fifteen years in foster care taught me how to adapt, how to see the world differently. When my brother and I moved back in with our mom, I thought life was about to make sense. It didn’t.

But sometimes, the breaking point is the beginning.
My coach and his wife opened their home when I had nowhere to go. They didn’t just give me shelter they gave me structure. They gave me a new lens to see what “possible” looked like.

From there, I started studying design at Augusta Tech. I didn’t have a plan I just followed what felt right. Design was the one space where chaos could become order, where thoughts could become form.

My first internship was at Showpony and Wier Stewart a studio I used to admire from afar. That turned into my first real job at Wier Stewart, where I learned the foundation the grid, the system, the discipline behind creativity. That was my crash course in how design could build worlds.

But growth requires movement. After Wier Stewart, I floated for a while, trying to find where I fit in this world of ideas. I thought I was lost. Then I met Neil Armstrong at a TCSG event in Savannah he ran through a crowd just to talk to me. That moment shifted everything.

He introduced me to his son, Jordan Shorthouse, and what started as a conversation became an interview… which became an offer letter from Warner Media (Warner Bros. Discovery).

And just like that, I was in Atlanta inside the world I used to dream about. My work started showing up in the NBA, NHL, MLB. I met legends like Shaq and the Inside the NBA crew. I was in rooms I used to only imagine. I became a multi–Emmy Award winner all from an idea that started when I had nothing but creativity to hold onto.

Now, I design for NowThatsTV, and I design for myself. The world is my medium. The streets, the culture, the rhythm all of it feeds the work.

To me, design isn’t just visuals it’s language, it’s intention, it’s emotion in motion.
My life is proof that you can start with nothing and still build something timeless.

Because art isn’t about where you start it’s about how you see..

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I’ve learned that no career path is linear especially in design. The journey was anything but smooth. As an artist, finding my voice and identity was uncomfortable, but that’s the point. Design is growing pains. It’s evolution in real time.

Design takes patience. It matures like sound, like fabric through trial, error, and repetition. You have to make mistakes to create meaning. Or like one of my favorite Clipse lines says, “Let your mess become your message.”

For a long time, I struggled with people not understanding the offering I was giving the vision, the form, the purpose. I heard a lot of “no’s.” But those moments taught me something crucial: the only way to be the best at what you do… is to be yourself.

Do it for you. Build from your truth.
Tell your story and eventually, the world catches up.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m a designer.
But not a regular one.

I operate across mediums graphic design, fashion, branding — all as tools to tell a story. Each project is a conversation with culture. Each piece, a timestamp of thought.

Design + Creative direction is where I feel most alive. I love building worlds where every detail, every layer, every motion tells part of the story. You have to look twice to catch it all. That’s the point.

I want to be known as “ The One After Virgil”

What I’m most proud of is simple I wake up every day and dedicate myself to art. That consistency is my discipline. My obsession. I don’t go anywhere without my laptop. I don’t feel right if I’m not creating.

I have to make something.
Because creation isn’t just what I do it’s how I exist.

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
My advice?
Just do it.

Tell the story only you can tell.
Create the art that feels real to you.

There are no gatekeepers anymore only vision.
No one can stop what’s authentic.

So make.
Fail.
Build again.

Because the act of creating is the win.
