Our guest today is Sara Jamil,  a Freelance Communication Designer by day, a passionate teacher at heart and wordsmith by night, Sara took the Covid pause to fully embrace the cliché of “life is short” and went public with a personal project, Jam Musings. An amalgamation of her need for words and her explorations into faith, Jam Musings is an ongoing love letter to life, inspired by His words; a legacy of sorts to leave behind, all made more visual with her own brand of colour and form. As someone with a intrinsic signature design vibe, Sara likes to express herself through creative habits and choices, cultivating a deep sense of self in whatever she chooses to do.  Looking back on turning points in her own trajectory, she speaks here, about conscious living, on experiences that make us who we are, about being and staying interested and observant, while learning to detect what lies within us as part of an ongoing design unfurling.
