Behind the Portfolio
Hi, I’m Winnie.
I believe that empathy and insight are at the core of all effective products and design.
To fulfill a lifelong ambition, I aspire to create and market products that enhance the lives of underrepresented groups worldwide, focusing on solutions for ethnic minorities and those facing resource scarcity.
As a first-generation college student and woman of color, I often embrace a scrappy, creative problem-solving approach to tackle such challenges! I also have an avid interest in technology and love to explore restorative solutions by supporting my workflow with the latest and greatest tools.
Beyond the big and bold, I love sketching, interior design and video editing. You will often find me fuelling my endless curiosity with new hobbies as I believe the act of learning is the defining characteristic of what makes us human.
