Clever Ep. 144: Civic and Service Designer Sarah Brooks

On this episode of Clever podcast, Amy Devers talks to civic and service designer Sarah Brooks, who grew up in Manhattan, the daughter of an actress and doctor. With a voracious imagination, she spent her days running around with the neighborhood kids or watching her mom on stage. As a teenager, she found her tribe in the punk rock scene, inspired by the DIY attitude and creative expression. After getting started professionally in TV production, sudden and profound tragedy struck, sending Sarah’s life on a radical detour through grief, healing and rebuilding herself. The journey led her to a greater appreciation for emotional honesty, human connection and presence – qualities she also brings to her creative work as design executive at IBM, and as an advocate for social impact and regenerative design.
