My name is Kaoru Tydeman, I have been a professional web designer for over 6 years. I have worked for multiple web-based companies in Japan, I have studied in New York and Melbourne. Now I am in Sydney to explore the IT industry.

I started this road by attending Ochanomizu University in Tokyo to study Dance Education. I then moved half way around the world to New York where I attended Hunter College majoring in Studio Art. When returning to Japan, I was involved in various projects for different companies known internationally such as Sony, Mitsubishi, Merrill Lynch and many more.

To increase my knowledge, I moved to Melbourne in 2004 and received my Master's Degree for Multimedia Design at Swinburne University. Now I'm happily married in Sydney working for a Marketing Company for two years.
