Anne Ikeda
Operations Manager
Anne has been with Image X as the Operations Manager since October 2006. After graduating from Simon Fraser University with a degree in Communication, she left hometown Vancouver to live in Japan for 2 years as a Coordinator of International Relations for the JET Program (Japan Exchange and Teaching Program). Although she loved the great food and the multifaceted Japanese culture, she realized that she missed the freedom, diversity and laidback lifestyle of Vancouver and decided to move back to Lotusland.
Joining Image X has been a big learning experience for Anne. Drupal, Photoshop, InDesign and bookkeeping were completely new realms of knowledge in which Anne has gradually built up her skills at Image X. The company has evolved a lot since she came on board, and Anne has witnessed the Image X portfolio develop from one that was made up of mostly brochure sites to one filled with gorgeous sites with advanced functionality. She loves being a part of a team where learning and growing is a constant state of being.
