undefended / undefeated

By Sara Hendren

Sara Hendren's words and ideas about design, technology, art, education, and more

I love the way Sara sees the world, how her mind works, how she observes and engages with such mindfulness and grace. She's brilliant, a beautiful human, writer, scholar, professor, designer, mother, partner, friend. She always inspires me to widen my aperture and interrogate my choices with self-compassion and joyous curiosity.
