For these interviews, we pick people who add value to our community &#8211; in the blog, in the forums, in the projects. Plainly &#8211; activities that make crowdSPRING a better community. Be professional, treat others with respect, help us build something very special, and we&#8217;ll take notice. We&#8217;re very proud to feature Sarah Urbanak (crowdSPRING username: 29design) today. Sarah lives and works in Florida (USA). 1. Please tell us about yourself. Hi I\u2019m Sarah (29design on crowdSPRING). I\u2019m actually 27, not 29\u2026 in case you may have assumed. No fast-forwarding towards 30 please! The 29th is my birthday (sounds real cheesy, I know!) as well as one of those funny little numbers I use for everything. It has stuck and begun to represent\u2026 well\u2026 me. My 27 years launched in Key West, Florida. From there I migrated North to Middlebury, Vermont, headed west to Alfred, New York, then overseas to Christchurch, New Zealand, back to lovely Vermont, then hopped over to Dunedin, New Zealand, and just recently have parked myself in central Florida (for now!)\u2026. I like to think of myself as a responsible vagabond. New Zealand consumed 4 years of studying, living, working (and playing &#8211; LOTS!). Karma was on my side and seven months into my Masters degree at the University of Otago, I landed a fantastic job at the Otago Museum as the Marketing Officer. A high profile and extremely ambitious non-profit organization, the Otago Museum challenged me to no end! I absorbed much knowledge about optimal business practice, strategic planning, and in-house design from a gifted and passionate team of innovative business leaders. My family has drawn me back to the homeland, but my love affair with the South Pacific is enduring, and early \u201909 will see me returning to the country of extremes. We (with my boyfriend of 3 years \u2013 he is Kiwi) were planning on spending a bit longer in the US, however immigration is a battleground, and we\u2019re steering clear! When arriving home to the US this past year I was faced with the reality that the majority of marketing and design jobs would require quite a commute from where I am living, and with the gas prices as they were at the time (although Americans are completely spoiled in comparison, I know!), this was a huge incentive to work from the comforts of my home. So 29design was born, and is keeping me busier than expected! The site is in its infancy \u2013\u00a0here&#8217;s a link:\u00a0www.twenty9design.com In hopes of gaining a balance of semi-reclusive design work, and some social interaction, combined with my passion for sports and fitness, I am now studying towards a certification in personal training. The books are a bit dusty this month, but we\u2019ll get there! Looking forward\u2026 In 10 years you\u2019ll find me in Nelson, New Zealand, racing around my small eco-friendly home, eating my organic veggies from the spanning gardens, with a.."}
