Brina Bujkovsky - CEO/Artisan
With a Bachelor of Arts degree from San Diego State University and over 10 years of eCommerce experience, Brina took her love of design and software and created the boutique. Many of the product lines we offer you today are a direct result of Brina's creative flair.

Brina currently resides in San Marcos, California with her husband Gus, dogs, Gretchen, Stella and Hunter. She's expecting her first baby in June of 2009 and can't wait!!! (Literally)

Ruthie Friedman - Vice President/Artisan
An artist all her life, Ruthie jumped at the opportunity to join her daughter Brina in creating a new online store.

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 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, is his wife, Brina.

Terri 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 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.

Hunter
Hunter is by far the fuzziest member of the team. She is a 9 year old yellow lab with an obsession for cookie bones. If you hear Hunter barking in the background when you call us here at the Boutique - don't be alarmed. She just wants another cookie and she knows that the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

Gretchen
Meet Gretchen IV. Gretchen was raised by CEO Brina Jannenga for Canine Companions for Independence. Whicle Gretchen excells at many things - she speaks three languages, plays a mean game of chess and can jump 12 feet in the air from a standing position - the life of a service dog was simply not in the cards for Gretch. She was released from Advanced Training in April 2006 and was adopted by Brina. She enjoys her new life as a pet dog and keeps everyone entertained here at the boutique.

Stella
Stella is the smallest member of our team. Her early life was rough as an orphan. She doesn't even know what breeds her parents were but it is suspected that she comes from Miniature Pincher or Chijuajua blood lines. Probably a combination of both. She was found at the San Diego International Airport as a small pup and was raised by a friend of Gus' until he could no longer care for her. She was adopted by Gus in 2007 and is enjoying her new life with her adopted family. She still has to learn that there is a strict "No Barking" policy at The Younique Boutique but she's a quick study.
