The Wink Collective is a design education and consulting practice focused on aligning creativity with business impact. Through Wink Academy, we equip students and emerging designers with the mindset, skills, and professional practices to thrive in their careers. Through Wink Consulting, we partner with in-house design teams, agencies, startups, and SaaS companies to optimize design strategy, team efficiency, and brand systems. Our mission is simple: to close the gap between design education and industry needs, and to help organizations use design as a strategic driver of growth.
