Samantha Wills has been in the spotlight as one of Australia’s most dynamic speakers and creative personalities since launching her self-titled jewellery brand at Australian Fashion Week in 2004, at just 21 years of age. 

After 15 years, and stating that she felt the SAMANTHA WILLS jewellery brand had achieved all it had set out to do, Wills announced that she was closing the jewellery business in January 2019 to focus on her profile work as a speaker, writer and creative.

Passionate about supporting women in business, Wills continues her work with the SamanthaWillsFoundation.org, and is an advocate for gender equality and conscious kindness.

Based in New York City where she is currently writing her first book, Samantha travels globally as a creative ambassador and keynote speaker.

Designing jewellery for fifteen years, Bali has never inspired me creatively. Unlike other destinations that I would go to find ideas, I would visit Bali to allow my creative seeking mind to stop for a moment and in doing so...allowed for ideas to find me. ⠀ ⠀ To me, that is the most magical type of inspiration. ⠀✨ ⠀ ⠀ In my time in Bali on this visit, I immersed in sunshine. —- Not just sitting with the sun on my skin, but in many ways. ⠀ Mindfulness. Laughter. Local food. Energy. Book pages. Ideas. Thoughts…. (annnnd a day at Waterbom Water Park where I lined up with hundred of little kids, and screamed down really big waterslides.) ⠀ ⠀ Hoping sunshine finds you this weekend. In all its many forms - SWx
As far as writing spaces go, this one is pretty heavenly. Escaped to the beautiful island of Bali to finish the last few chapters of my book. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Could possibly brush my hair. Probably won’t. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ With much love x 🥥🐚
With love, from the island of Bali.🥥🐚
Write a business memoir they said. It’ll be cathartic they said... The deadline for my manuscript is not far away, making every hotel room an editing suite, any pen a top knot skewer.

So glad I chose the ‘clean white’ fabric when I got this couch.... 🐻🐾🙄
Writing books, swimming ponds, eating peaches and fending off wild (Bowie) bears. Some summer polaroids. -SWx 🍑🐻🍃

1OO% OF PROCEEDS // BRANDS WHO STAND for something, are brands I admire. I am proud to support #AugusteAgainstBullying ⠀ ⠀ The Heroes are the KIND ones, the ones who SPEAK UP when others can’t. Heroes are the ones who make people feel SAFE, SEEN and HEARD…..And with certain political leaders demonstrating bullying, vitriol and juvenile behaviours via their twitter accounts daily, heroes have never been more needed. ⠀ ⠀ These Limited Edition @AugusteTheLabel unisex ‘HERO’ tee’s are available now at www.augustethelabel.com - 1OO% of the proceeds will go directly to The Alannah & Madeline Foundation’s National Centre Against Bullying (NCAB) and The Cyber Smile Foundation – taking a stand against bullying, both online and off. ⠀ ⠀ Conscious kindness impacts people in ways we will never know about. ⠀ ⠀ Thankyou Auguste, NCAB and Cyber Smile for the work you are doing in support, promotion and distributing conscious kindness globally. – SWx⠀ ⠀ ——-⠀ ⠀ WHO YOU ARE SUPPORTING: ⠀ ⠀ ✔️The Cyber Smile Foundation @CyberSmileFoundation was founded in 2010 and is the world’s leading anti-cyberbullying nonprofit organization.

Yesterday I felt fortunate to be able to attend the 2019 @ForbesWomen Summit. This year’s topic was ‘Live Your Purpose’. It’s a big one, and if you find yourself at crossroads you can often feel very isolated and at a loss as to what your purpose and passion even are. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Eva Longoria was the closing speaker, and I thought she explained it beautifully, rather than taking on the overwhelming task of going on the strict mission to find your purpose, simply ask yourself, “What is it you care about?” ⠀ ⠀ Here are some other things I took away from the day: ⠀ ⠀ “Communities are built by teaching people to care about people.” – @JulieRice_ Cofounder, SoulCycle & Partner, WeWork ⠀ ⠀⠀ “As brands, how can we facilitate conversations around modern femininity and what that means?” ⠀ – Charlotte Koh,Head of Digital Media & Unscripted @HelloSunshine ⠀ ⠀⠀ “In 2019 you cannot have an unconscious bias, if you do, you must be unconscious.”- @ArlanWasHere Founder of @BackstageCapital ⠀ ⠀⠀ “Your purpose does not need to be tied to a vocation.”– Tara Rush, SVP Audi America ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ “Women start their own companies because they know they’ll get paid right.” – Lilly Ledbetter, Equal Pay Activist —Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 (Obama administration) ⠀ ⠀⠀ “I would write down what I didn’t know and I would circle it. I’m a theatre major! I didn’t know business. But I learnt. I’m. learning. I’m passionate about it.” - @Jennifer.Garner CoFounder & Chief Brand Officer @OnceUponAFarm ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ “If it doesn’t occur to you, it’s not relevant to your life, so you cannot plan for it. That is why Twitter has a bullying issue because it is run by three white guys…. Bullying has not been a major issue in their lives, they simply cannot plan for how to deal with it when it happens. Tech Titans need to be held accountable, they need diversity alongside responsible legislature.” ⠀⠀ – Kara Swisher, Co-founder & Editor-at-Large Recode + Host of Recode Decode & Pivot podcast ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ Thank you to Forbes Executive Director, Erika Burho for kindly hosting us yesterday, and to Moira Forbes for championing the bringing together of women to share thoughts, experience and knowledge. - SWx ⠀#forbeswomen
Sometimes I (lay around in bohemian courtyards wearing beautiful dresses and) talk about business, being at a crossroads and being OK with making the decision to end something while it’s still good, instead of ending it because you broke it — This is one of those times, interview with @profilemagazine via link in bio. -SWx ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Thank you to the incredible Australian creative team behind this shoot. ⠀⠀ Photography: @scottehler ⠀⠀ H+MUP: @maxmade ⠀⠀ Dress: @winonaaustralia
