Pocketful of Sprockets

Winnie Ding

Hi! I'm Winnie. Here's my sticker-creator origin story: I joined a very early startup a few years out of school. I had no idea what I was getting into and minimal hands-on experience, only blind enthusiasm for getting my hands dirty and putting my creativity and engineering background to use working toward something I was actually excited about. As our first Mechanical Engineer I was suddenly thrown into roles of designer, machinist and technician all at once and having an absolute blast. That job gave me the opportunity to learn and develop so many new skills, from CAD to 3D printing, welding to CNC milling, hacky prototyping to managing vendors. I still decidedly have no idea what I’m doing, but I love learning the nitty gritty details and jargon that go along with each new skill. So, I decided to channel all my engineer-isms and combine it with my life-long love of art - and Pocketful of Sprockets was born!
