Vonne Yang
Founder of InRo
Proud woman of colour, with a Masters Degree in Architecture. Vonne dedicated her career to start-ups that require all rounding skills, gaining valuable skills in project management, R&D, sales & marketing, and an acute understanding of creative problem-solving.
Prior to calling Melbourne home, she lived her adulthood in 5 different countries, giving her a strong ability to adapt, and a well-rounded, innate sense of design.
Channeling her passion into doing good for the planet & the people, she journeyed an unconventional path, helping Social Enterprises create impact, and educating wellness in physical & mental health, before finally founding InRo to redefine consumption for the changing planet, with the core value of sustainability, inclusivity, accessibility, & community
