Hey Winxi! You were born in the Netherlands but have lived in Shanghai for years; how did you end up here?

I came to Shanghai when I was taking a break from work. I had just quit my first job and was travelling in Asia. While visiting my grandparents in Shanghai, I fell in love with the city. 

It's pretty ironic. Most of my friends know I'm a bit hermit; I enjoy solitude and being at home. Though I love Shanghai for its vibrancy and diversity, I have called this concrete jungle my home for the past five years.

What’s something you’re passionate about, and how has that applied to The Oh Collective?

I love products and product details. Before that, I always worked in buying and merchandising in the apparel industry (I used to be addicted to having all of my clothes made at a tailor in Shanghai, but that, luckily, has been tamed down).

At The Oh Collective, we listen to consumers’ feedback. What do they like, their challenges, and what are they missing? When you work with products, you understand that consumers and products will always go hand in hand. We cannot create fantastic sex toys online without understanding our girls' needs.

How do you find the time to work full-time, be a co-founder, and be in a serious relationship? What’s a tip you have for other busy-bee Gals?

It’s all about finding the right balance and listening to your mind and body spirit. I choose to surround myself with kind and genuine people. Friends that I can be honest with. Friends that I feel loved by.

Also, my boyfriend is the person closest to me. He’s very supportive of what I do and always motivates me during my ups and downs. 

I’m fortunate to have a fantastic group of inspiring people around me.

If you could rewind time and give 21-year-old Winxi one piece of advice, what would it be?

When I turned 21, I had just finished university and started my first job. I felt really, really mature and thought that I knew it all. Looking back, the truth is that you haven’t experienced much in life and haven’t seen much of the world. 

If I could turn the clock back to 21 years-old me, I would tell myself not to be influenced that much by other people’s opinions, not to overthink, and to dare to follow my gut. Try more new things and dare. Dare to make mistakes; dare to live.
