The Balsam Brandits
Our team talent means everything to us—it shapes who we are and how we work. As we’ve grown, we have prioritized finding smart, passionate people who uphold our values and are fun to be around. We make no exceptions to this rule.
We are all different and yet united. Meet some of our team members below and see what makes them tick:
Robert Taniguchi
Robert's passion in data-centricity is rivaled only by his love for building robots and D&D adventures.
Emma Keane
By day, Emma's our localization maestro; at night she bakes to the sweet sound of 40's and 50's jazz.
Davin Chang
Davin is a product sourcer and music geek. When he's not visiting factories, you can find him at a concert.
Joshua Falco
Joshua is a self-proclaimed Minister of Design. He bakes pictures, seasons them with creativity and serves 'em "hot".
Priscilla Spicer
When she’s not handling floral and greenery samples at work, Priscilla is taking care of her 65 (and counting) real indoor plants at home.
Joyce Lin
Apart from managing websites, Joyce enjoys her Instagram feed of cute animal photos and trending #WabbitAdventures.
Chris Arias
Chris is part of the Performance Marketing team. He is a man of few words and he only speaks when he is asleep.
Krystiana Dela Cuadra
A Jack of All Trades in the office and in photo shoots, Krystiana's obsessions include working out and collecting Nutcrackers.
Judy Keosaksith
Just as she looks forward to the start of a new design project, Judy eagerly anticipates the start of each new day armed with caffeine and laughter.

Ginyn Cadavillo
Content marketing, writing, and mommy/wifey duties keep Ginyn busy. To rest, she bakes or escapes to K-drama land.
Terry Shanley
Terry has a “healthy” obsession with warehousing and buying new shoes. When not cycling or running around Ireland, Terry loves working on all things operations, especially optimization of projects.
Nikki Fernandez
Nikki's passion for customer service is only rivaled by her passion for adding to her extensive lipstick collection.
Nichole Santa Maria
By day, Nichole oversees all of our performance marketing efforts. By night, you can find her binging all of the latest Hallmark Christmas movies.
Jaye Munar
Jaye loves swimming in the sea of orders. As a MedTech student, he watches classes on YouTube and avoids textbooks.
Jen Couch
You can catch Jen chasing squirrels organically via online marketing, mountain trails, golf courses, the ski slopes, or possibly at a DMB concert.
Lindsay Andrysiak
While Lindsay is at home pouring over financials, she is equally at home at a BSU tailgate or a day on the lake.
Annie Valdez
Annie’s love for cats has gone as far as starting her own brand of cat accessories. She also goes to places dressed up as a t-rex on random days.
Jason Green
While Jason is hard at work in Operations, he is also working his way through the assortment of Balsam provided snacks!
Karen Navarro
Karen knows how to keep customers engaged. At home, she relaxes by whipping delicious meals for her family.
A Growing Team
Balsam has offices worldwide, stretching from our original location in California's Bay Area all the way to the Philippines. We like using work as an excuse to travel to cool new places, so expect to see more cities pop up on this map as we grow!
THE TEAM THAT PLAYS TOGETHER

Fun in the sun
Balsam is known for taking company trips to the Hawaiian Islands. Families are invited and there is no work allowed, only bonding on the beach, the pool and out to eat at great local eateries. We’ve hit Maui, Oahu and the Big Island. Where to next?

Global Team
Balsam team members don't let physical distance stop us from building connection. We meet regularly using video technology, and work across our global geographies daily.

Games we play
Our office comes alive daily with friendly games of foosball and—occasionally intense—ping pong. We always have a jigsaw puzzles going, for when we need a mental break.
I just wait for the awkward pause and then I know it's me.
