Each week, we’ll be interviewing a member of the Startup community to find out about their deepest, darkest secrets! We’ll be profiling developers, as well as CEOs – so no one is safe! This week, Sarah has agreed to be our willing victim.
Sarah is a service designer, recently graduated from Glasgow School of Art. She has a focus for improving public services and is dedicated to using design for social change (watch out World!) Her idea for Social Innovation Camp has turned into MyPolice.org, a website to provide feedback to the Police.

Name a Quirky fact about yourself: I was the first (and possibly only) person in the UK or maybe Scotland to get a plug stuck in their head. Yes an electrical plug at the age of three. It went right into my head and now I have 3 dimple marks where they cut it out and a huge half moon scar under my hair. Fact.
