Christina Theodorakis-Itagaki
Co-founder, Localization Manager, Consultant & Music Composer
A first-generation American to Greek immigrant parents, Christina grew up in a bilingual and bicultural household outside of Philadelphia. Greek was her first language until she learned how to read in English, which was about the time she discovered her passion for learning, and would read anything she could to garner knowledge. Her earliest memories are of singing and dancing, which she would continue to do throughout her life, and is a self-taught musician. She went on to work in digital marketing at several U.S. companies before moving to Japan in 2016 to pursue the multicultural career she had sought.
With 20 years of self-taught Japanese, 10+ years of marketing, and 10+ years of translation experience under her belt, she now helps to manage localization, consulting, and seminars, and enjoys being creative. She's also responsible for dealing with Wix.
When she's not working, she's usually cycling, playing games, reading, making tunes, or learning about something.
