With a background in sewing, painting and general crafts, Ruthie creates the majority of the sewn products found at TYB, inc. Her attention to detail and dedication to her art continually astounds her family.

 

Ruthie is the resident watercolor artist in our studio. She has been painting for over twenty years and has won several awards in her field.

Gus BujkovskyGus Bujkovsky - Director of Operations
A graduate of Colorado State University and a seasoned professional in the field of business consulting and technology, Gus runs the day to day operations of the boutique. He overseas the hardware and software, maintains the order flow and makes a decent pot of coffee.

 

Gus is a native San Diegan and loves spending time with his family, fantasy sports, the NFL and playing guitar. His favorite thing, next to the Chargers, are his babies, Ryder and Willow.

Terri KinnemanTerri Kinneman - Customer Service
When you call the Younique Boutique, most likely the friendly voice on the other end is Terri, our lead customer service representative.

 

Terri currently resides in nearby Vista, California with her mother and doggie Tink. She loves spending time with her friends, scrapbooking and playing Rock Band.

Tim MooreTim Moore - Ceramic Technician and Shipping Manager
An avid ceramicist, Tim Moore joined the team in 2007 bringing with him an expertise in glazing techniques. Tim formerly ran several furniture stores all over Southern California and the Pacific Northwest. He is a native San Diegan and graduate of San Diego State University.

Ryder BujkovskyGustav "Ryder" Bujkovsky
We like to train our staff from a very early age here at the boutique. Ryder started his training just 5 days after he was born in July of 2009. He hopes to take over for his mommy some day when she is too old to paint platters.

 

If you call the office and hear a baby laughing, talking, screaming or crying - don't be alarmed! It's Ryder and he is probably overdue for a nap.

 

Ryder loves anything messy, apple slices, crayons, Elmo and doggies.

WillowWillow Bee Bujkovsky
Introducing our newset muse! Willow spends the majority of her time sleeping and eating but we know she'll be painting platters in no time.
