I’m Yoko. I like street cats, jacket weather, and inviting friends on errands. My husband and I live in Sunset Park, Brooklyn aka THE best neighborhood of all time, with two chaotic roommates: a middle-aged feline and an infant human.

Work work talk talk

I enjoy digging deep into complex problems and thinking about how things come together to create a bigger picture. I put this into practice as a staff product designer working on products and strategy related to Etsy’s inventory, an astonishing!!! diversity of items.

I also like talking shop, especially with prospective designers from underrepresented backgrounds. If this is you and you want to chat, read more here. You can also email me; that’s cool too :)

This wobsite

It’s made with Jekyll, and it runs on Github Pages. I’ve been a web dev noob for 20+ years lol and now and then I’ll mess around with my site for fun.
