Winnie So

1. 6. 2016

Winnie So is a dot connecter; those dots may be people, places, perspectives, ideas, experiences, resources, or media & cultural messages. Before moving to Berlin in 2015, she had lived in Hong Kong for 22 years working on projects ranging from teen development (case studies for The Women’s Foundation) to promoting Hong Kong’s artists and art scene (through The Peninsula Hotel and Hongkong Land). She has degrees in history (focused on art & architecture), business, and psychology from the U.S., France and Hong Kong. Her main interest revolves around exploring how human experiences and potential are shaped and created by investigating and connecting multiple disciplines such as history, language, economics, arts &culture, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, spirituality etc.

Winnie So's current research and entrepreneurial interests have to do with imagining and seeding desirable futures, including designing communities and systems that support lifelong learning, foster multi-generational connections and healthy & harmonious coliving; responsible and just design, deployment, and use of AI systems; and constantly asking: what does it mean to live a good life? how can we design for that?
