Where are you from I'm originally from CBS, Newfoundland - a small town outside of St. John's. I moved to Toronto in 2009 and I currently live in Chinatown. 

What do you do?
I work at a vegan resto on the bar slinging juices etc. On the side I DJ, produce and also do freelance graphic design work. 

What is your dream creative project? 
I love branding and curating music events, so ideally I would love to merge these two worlds together..working for a brand or a creative team and curating large art & music events would be the best!

What’s stopping you from it? 
Right now my focus is on finishing school, it takes up a lot of my time but I fulfill that creative desire by making my own DJ events or events with my collective Something Special. 

What are your go-to tunes for:

Rising Currently , Peach - Silky
Exercising Lady Gaga - Fame Monster (Album)
Partying Currently: Jammin Gerald - Come On Y'all

In your city, where is your fav place to: 

Eat? Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu
Dance? Bambi's or around my apartment (free of charge ;)) 
Drink? The Embassy Bar
Shop? Sub Rosa Vintage Kensington Market

Is there something you really want to do in your city that you haven't yet? 
Yes! Toronto Design Exchange, Toronto Botanical Gardens and although not in Toronto..I havent been to Niagara Falls yet.
