We first met Christine aka Jackrabbit aka iheartmoustaches at the Bazaar Bizarre/Maker Faire in San Mateo. She'd won first place in the Upcycling Contest with her Wiener Bench, and as her prize, she received a free booth. Her crocheted video game console and other fabulous wares proceeded to catch the attention of every passerby and the Etsy admin on hand for the event.
After having made such an unforgettable impression, Christine applied to work at the Etsy Labs, and we were impressed by her BFA in Crafts and her previous work in web design. She now makes tons of handmade Etsy swag, helps with Brooklyn Labs classes and the Virtual Labs. You might have seen her posts about the Design Face-offs she's been heading up.
Christine also happens to be one of the most unique people in the world. She is hilarious and creative and passionate about her job. All of the admin here at the office adore her and want to be her future girlfriends or boyfriends. She also has a super cute pooch named Satchel who we don't get to see very often at the Labs anymore, due to some wilding out.
She has a very cute Boston Terrier named Satchel and a crazy cat that has no equilibrium and stumbles around.
She seems really sweet and quiet but she's a maniac. In high school her nickname was "Domaniac."
This little miss has a BFA in crafting and stays up until 3am crocheting mushrooms and cacti.
She used to design websites, and she once had an odd job for a girls-gone-wild type website and she had to crop all the breasts from the photos...hundreds and hundreds of photos.
She owns a house.
At an earlier time, Christine ran a gallery in Pittsburgh.
She wears the same, taped up glasses that she has had for 15 years, like some kind of a hobo.
Recently, while sporting a snappy cardigan and skirt set and a fresh haircut, she was mistaken for a nun on the New York subway.

Etsy has had quite a growth spurt in the past year, and we have the awkward pictures to prove it. We've been posting a series of About Us pieces to help you get to know the Etsy admin (and since many of us work remotely, for the admin to get to know each other!). You've seen the admin badge, and maybe you're a bit curious about the person behind it! For more on Etsy's mission and about the company, please see our About page (the link is in the little blue footer of every Etsy page).
