Welcome to Winston Online

You're now

seeing

printed

works.

I'm Winston Struye, a designer with an emphasis on digital platforms and narrative-based thinking.

I'm currently in Graduate School, pursuing an MFA in Design at CCA in San Francisco. Until recently I

was a designer in NYC at places like Investis and Potion, as well as working as a freelance photographer. In addition to design, I like eating pastries, reading about history, and anything to do with the ocean.

Here's a few things I've made. Click on the links to see some digital works, or scroll down to see print work.

I enjoy design largely because I enjoy thinking, and you can see that in writing in case studies and some ideas I've published on my medium. I'm also a sucker for awesome fonts, this one you're looking at is GT Cinetype.
