Meet the Team Behind Doozy Moo
Saya Katherine is the author, illustrator, and voice of Doozy Moo. Her passion for telling stories through artwork started at a very early age. She would draw her family as various characters and relive their adventures on greeting cards that she made for birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions. This is how Doozy Moo was born! Can you guess which member of her family Doozy Moo is loosely based on?
She is a graphic designer who loves to draw cute things. Her drawings have been featured in our educational resources for several years. She is fluent in both English and Japanese.
Stan is a former kindergarten teacher and tutor who later became a work-at-home dad, homeschooling his daughter. Finding free, high-quality educational resources online was a challenge when he first started. He decided that his family would be better served by spending less time searching and more time creating! That decision helped lead to the creation of several educational websites featuring thousands of printable worksheets and workbooks. Now you know where the idea came from for Doozy Moo’s alphabet worksheets series.
Stan is also the web developer, video editor, and narrator behind the Doozy Moo series. He brings related experience from his time working at several TV and radio stations in America. Stan is also the support representative for anything related to Doozy Moo. Please feel free to contact him with any questions you may have.
Ryoko is a work-at-home mom who has also homeschooled her daughter. Growing up in both America and Japan gave her the rare opportunity to become a native speaker of both English and Japanese. Her multicultural background has given her a lifelong love of learning. She graduated with honors from Temple University and has done technical translation work for the engineering department of another major university. She has also worked in both public and private sector roles, including the State of California and Goldman Sachs, an American multinational investment bank and financial services company.
Ryoko is the music composer and pianist for all of the Doozy Moo videos. Her 10 years of private piano lessons are finally paying off! She is also the activity director for the Doozy Moo website.
