Greetings comrade!

My name is Janice Wong and I am a designer, willing to travel for good conversation. So far I have lived and worked in major cities across Canada (Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Winnipeg) and couch surfed through Europe, Asia, and countless cities in the US. Currently I am based in Chicago, working towards a Master of Design from the IIT Institute of Design and an MBA from the IIT Stuart School of Business.

It is my career and life’s ambition to positively affect the world through design. I hope to achieve this by maximizing design’s power to influence the decisions we make and enhance the interactions we have with each other. I aspire to be a design champion, working with businesses and organizations to use design strategically to create breakthrough innovations and engaging user experiences. Originally trained as a graphic designer, I’ve gone back to school to gain a hybrid education in design and business, which I hope will allow me to manage design for its greatest social impact, to create the change I want to see in the world.

Please have a look around at what’s been keeping me busy lately and feel free to let me know what you think. I am always on the hunt for new collaborators and would love to hear from you!

yours in solidarity,
Janice Wong
