ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

 

Sacha Wynne launched WӔRK in 2015, inspired by the potential for artists and culture bearers to transform technology, business innovation, and contemporary workplace culture.

She passionately believes in a new way forward.  One in which artistic methodologies are applied to business processes and practices. This regenerative approach positions humans – and the planet we inhabit – as businesses’ most important stakeholders.

Sacha holds a MA from the Pratt Institute (New York, USA) and a BA English Language and Literature from Western University (London, Canada). Sacha also studied fine art and creative writing at New York City’s New School and New York University. She has presented research on the impact of art in society and arts integration at international academic conferences in both the U.S. and Canada. WӔRK was a member of the New Museum’s NEW INC, an incubator for projects at the intersection of art, design, and technology.

She is a published creative writer, a former magazine editor, and worked for over a decade as a freelance copywriter for boutique and national brands.  Sacha collaborated with executive leadership at Fortune 500 corporations on Consumer Insights, Marketing Analytics, and Executive Management teams.  She also has experience leading transformative marketing, audience engagement, and community development initiatives in the non-profit sector.

Born and raised in the Toronto area, Sacha currently lives in New York City with her family.
