Sarah Boris will talk us through her journey, from studying type design in Paris to establishing herself as a designer specialised in branding and editorial design and collaborating with people in the arts and culture fields. She will share the hurdles she encountered on her journey: from landing her dream job to her pursuit of a good work-life balance and her quest for the ideal work environment.

Her work has been acquired by the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and exhibited at the Design Museum in London.
