I’ll be leading a couple of workshops at FEW Japan’s FEWture Conference on June 7th. It’s a one-day extravaganza for women executives in Japan and this year’s theme is diversity and inclusivity among women.
Today they needed a bio from me and a headshot.
The bio was easy; I love writing bios for myself and for friends. Here was today’s, tailored specifically to the workshop themes I will be teaching:
Kristen is a “professional dilettante” whose interests weave a tapestry of creative and corporate jobs. Threading throughout is her passion for making difficult things easier, including yoga. After moving from Tokyo to rural Chiba in 2015, Kristen created “Satoyama Yoga” and for the past four years she has taught a daily morning session via Zoom, racking up more than 1000 days in a row without a miss. Beyond yoga, Kristen is a designer whose work you may recognise from the refreshed FEW logo or business graphics and presentations of members. Ask for her card and you’ll get full insight into her colorful career.
I don’t have any professional headshots. So I ran my fingers through my hair, moved into better light and used Portrait mode on my camera to capture a shot. I am pleased with how it turned out, because there were also a lot of bad snaps.
