I lived in Japan for 6 years before moving to San Francisco. In Japan I worked as a book designer for Agosto publishing company and on book design projects for Graphic-sha, Rockport and Macmillan Language House.
Later I became a web designer for Digital Magic Labs, a Tokyo-based web design company, where I worked on projects such as the FedEx Japan web site. Before joining EZ Board I worked as a freelance designer mainly for clients based in Japan.
I have a B.A. in fine arts from the University of Oregon and intermediate level Japanese skills.

Hi! I'm Kristin. I do HTML and CSS for Yuku. Currently I'm working on skins for imported boards, Yuku versions of ezboard default skins and miscellaneous bug fixes.
If you have questions about CSS please visit http://skins.yuku.com. If you have questions about skins I designed or are having problems with Mira's old skins feel free to contact me.
We started in Cluj Romania where we stayed a couple days, then drove through Hungary, Austria (where we stayed overnight and also visited the city of Salzburg), Germany and then to France.
In France we traveled through the regions of Alsace, Bourgogne (Burgundy), visited the the town of Chamonix in the Rhone-Alps region and traveled through the Loire Valley in the Centre region.
Our friend Andrei started a car rental agency in Cluj Napoca, Romania. He's also constructing new condos in Cluj which are for sale.
Smeagol as a Young Bird:
Smeagol is a 4 year old male Solomon Island electus parrot.
(He's a full adult now so his beak has changed to all orange since this picture was taken.)
