Clossette, amy ahn, social media manager Amy Ahn – Social Media Manager

Amy is a social media manager with an undeniable love for anything FOOD. Amy has an AS in Architectural Technology from Morrisville College and a BBA from Baruch College in Marketing Management and has fallen into the ever-growing niche of social media marketing. When she’s not dancing around in her endless world of tweets, posts and “likes” she finds an escape experimenting with different ingredients and conjuring up new creations. If she’s never tried it… she’s usually willing.

Yuka Yoneda is a writer, cheese lover and JeDIY master whose love of recycled fashion led her to start Clossette.com as a resource for folks looking to revamp what they already have in their closets. Her penchant for crafting has a lot to do with what she’s seen around her in NYC, where she was born and raised. She believes that if you can “make it” here, you can “make it” anywhere, so that’s exactly what she does. Yuka is also the managing editor of Inhabitat NYC and her refashioned clothing and DIY ideas have been featured on The Today Show, Glamour, HGTV.com and other websites and magazines. Yuka also writes for Ecouterre and has written for The Daily Green and The New York Times.
