Modern Minorities

Minjae Ormes has grown (up) Visible

“Suddenly the world opens up - you meet people living a completely different life. So we picked up everything, left everything behind and moved.”

Minjae Ormes is a digital, tech, and entertainment veteran - she's the CMO of Visible - one of Fast Company’s most innovative companies. Minjae's worked for YouTube and Ogilvy - working on campaigns for Disney, National Geographic, and the Tribeca Film Institute. But before all that, she moved to the other side of the world (from Korea) when she was just 13 - having to adapt to a new language, new community, and even new holidays (Halloween is the best). As we unpack our tensions of today - you’ll appreciate Minjae’s unique empathy, curiosity, and understanding - born out of sometimes having to see the world from two very different perspectives. And on top of it all, Minjae’s a rad mom, has a rad haircut, and is a big fan of the Colorado Stock Show. So of course we talked a lot about Korean food, Korean donuts, and H-Mart, obviously.
