In this candid talk, Sara will pull back the curtain on 20 years in design, revealing her non-linear path from agency work to purpose-driven projects. Through honest storytelling about career pivots, setbacks, and breakthroughs when she was working with brands like Nike, Twitter, and Band-Aid, she will share essential lessons for navigating uncertainty, building resilience, and creating meaningful work.
