Ming was born in China and raised in San Francisco. In 1978, she earned a bachelor of arts in clothing merchandising with a minor in marketing from San José State University.[4]

Ming's career began in management at a Mervyn's department store before she was personally recruited by Gap CEO Millard Drexler in 1986.[5] Ming joined the San Francisco-based retailer as a buyer, and quickly worked her way up through the Gap management ranks, becoming a vice president after three years on the job.
