I'm Winston Struye, a designer with an emphasis on digital platforms and narrative-based thinking.
I'm currently working as a designer at Investis in New York City, but will soon be moving west to start my MFA in Design at California College of the Arts in San Fransisco.
Here is some things I've created where you can learn more about my thought process, creative enzymes, and personal inspirations.
My favorite quote is “be different to be better” from Seth Godin.
I have a knack for good email writing.
