Hiya, I'm Yoko.
I like , , and . I was born and raised in New York City (Upper West Side), spent some formative college years in Southern California, and now live in the greatest neighborhood of all time! with my husband Kevin and 2 chaotic housemates: a middle-aged feline and a toddler human.
I recently began a new career in financial operations and services through Over Easy Worldwide, a small biz that I started with Kevin. Before this, I was a designer for 15+ years working at companies like Etsy (as a product designer), Squarespace (web designer), and The New York Times (information graphics summer intern, many years ago ☀️). My LinkedIn, if you want it.
This wobsite
I'm a web development hobbyist and have been fumbling through making my own websites for the last 25 years. This site is made using Jekyll and runs on Github Pages. I use LLMs to consult on implementation, but I do try to write most of the code myself, bugs and all.
I use two fonts for this site: GT America for the sans-serif and monospace fonts; and GT Pantheon for the serif fonts. Both are from the inimitable Grilli Type foundry.
I don't use any analytics on this site. I have no idea who or where you are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ thanks for stopping by!
