With Alex we have an open discussion on what it means to deal with a chronic disease and being a freelancer. From a sudden phone call on her way to New York to a night in A&E Alex shares her Type 1 Diabetes origin story and takes us through how to be a successful self employed Product and Service designer while dealing with a chronic disease. She then takes us through her life as a Swiss kid and how she went from ski instructor to the Denmark School of Design and ultimately landed in Edinburgh.
