Whether you’re a seasoned professional or establishing your creative career, it’s hard to deny that sharing your work with the world often requires a healthy dose of bravery (accompanied by a few deep breaths).
But as author, blogger and crafter Pip Lincolne (founder of Meet Me At Mike’s and mentor in Etsy’s Creative Courage Challenge) points out, this crucial ingredient to work in creative industries can prove both elusive and fragile.
Having cut her communications teeth in the corporate world, Sarah has
spent almost a decade working for brilliant brands across Australia and
Europe. Sarah now looks after public relations in Australia for
Etsy.com, the online marketplace for handmade and vintage goods. Here
she’s helping share the stories of Etsy's talented community in
Australia and delights in the opportunity to showcase the work and
ingenuity of the small creative businesses therein.
