The interview series is a series of intimate discussions with women in the technical & digital spaces.

The aim of the series is to increase the visibility of women in tech, to prove that no woman's journey is linear & to celebrate their successes. Whatever your passion or skill OR gender, there's something out there for you! Rae McClellandis the

Although I’ve been practicing yoga and wellbeing techniques for seven years now, the extreme highs and lows of this wonderfully turbulent year have really got me reflecting on my mental health and all the things I am grateful for. It may seem inconsequential, but I feel like I’ve achieved SUCH a milestone this year and I’m sure those of you who struggle with anxiety will relate. I’ve finally stopped giving myself so much grief for the consistency and amount of time I spend pr
