Sandrine Zhang Ferron is the founder and CEO of Vinterior, the online marketplace for vintage, pre-owned and antique furniture. She doesn’t have a traditional design background, but she did have a big idea. While working in the finance sector she became frustrated while trying to source a classic chair and took a bold leap – enrolling on a coding bootcamp and creating what is now the largest second-hand furniture listing site in the UK, turning frustration into a flourishing business. 
 
She joins Mix Interiors Managing Editor Harry McKinley to discuss taking a leap into the unknown, why success is sometimes just luck and why there’s more to life (and work) than designer bags and shoes.
