Today we introduce you to designer, Jenny Jin, whose motto is “always be learning!” A graduate of Stanford and MIT, she recently worked at the Alicia Foundation, founded by world renowned chef of El Bulli, Ferran Adria, to promote healthy eating for everyone. Jenny is an entrepreneurial learner and doer, and is here to inspire us with her a sense of optimism, and roll-up-your-sleeves / kick open your own door attitude. Living up to her motto, we recently caught up with Jenny as she was preparing to lead a class at MIT’s Edgerton Center for Experiential Learning to teach undergrads how to apply design thinking to their lives. She is grateful for her amazing graduate TA’s for the class – Lea (background in education), Nila (background working in oil rigs), and Prerna Sekhi (background in social enterprises) – who all dropped other classes to make helping facilitate this class a priority.
