Your first crush is hard to shake. I guess I never really got over mine. After various scientific degrees and a successful career in biotech, my creative itch never let up. While on maternity leave with my third child, I took an interior design course that rekindled a flame that lay idle behind beakers and boardrooms for years. Of course it wasn’t an easy decision, but within a few months I quit my job, enrolled in design school and never looked back.
