Radical Sabbatical - How I structured one year of creative web-dev
by Shalanah Dawson | at Minnebar 19
What happens when you hit pause on your career and hit play on your wildest creative ideas? In 2024, I took a leap—a full year off to explore, experiment, and build. From passion projects to playful prototypes, I’ll share how I structured my sabbatical, the unexpected lessons I learned, and what it’s like to return to the workforce with a fresh perspective. Whether you’re dreaming of your own sabbatical or just curious how to carve out more creative space in your career, this talk is for you!
