Founder's Story
Wink was inspired by my older brother Darin Umbarger, who passed away in July 2022. He was the original inspiration behind Wink and the reason why Wink was launched in the first place.
I remember having a conversation with him several years ago when he told me, “Gina, I see you as owning your own business or being a CEO of a company.” His belief in me is what gave me the confidence to open my own business several years ago.
So, in honor of my brother Darin, I am relaunching Wink this year. My goal is to impact as many women in business to go after their dreams in life and business as they borrow my belief in them as I did my brothers belief in me. You can do it; I believe in you!
