I really liked Sarah's talk. She was very enthusiastic and it was very entertaining listening to her experience of her having to print out boobs.
It gave me a sense of relief when she advised us to maintain and good balance between work and personal life. I need to work harder to be able to not need to work at home, or bring back any work to home. I need more EFFICIENCY!
Also, I noticed that she has a very very wide range of professional work. And I could tell that her personal work of screen printing are things she's used for work and commercial use as well. I wish I could do that as well. I haven'T been able to go to the screen printing workshop, but I should do get used to the feeling.
Sarah handed these works out. It is designed by her, and I think that her idea could be a nice reference to my own work. It is very cute, and I love how is looks.
