Sarah’s day typically begins at 6am, before arriving at Sprouter. In her office, Sarah designs products, responds to emails, catches up on staff projects and reviews current priorities. The stark white and simple design of her office echoes the clean lines of an Apple store, providing an elegant backdrop for creative pursuit.
