In this episode, we talk to Sophie Patel, R&D Prototyping Manager at No7 Beauty Company.

Sophie is a human first and research and prototyping professional second. Her pronouns are she/her and she in unapologetically both a woman and brown. Those intersections are shaping how she is trying to drive action in creating equity in her corner of the beauty industry, while continuously learning and listening to marginalised people so that she can advocate for you when you are not in the room.

Join Merle and Sophie as they discuss Sophie's journey into packaging design, being passionate about what you do, and embracing her full identity in work and life.
