What's a moment that changed your life?
I'll start - I was on vacation in Palm Springs at a vegan cafe, sitting with my wife enjoying breakfast when I heard a familiar voice.
I glanced at the door and spotted a bald guy walking out, and instantly recognized it was Andy
My mom volunteered to make masks for parents visiting their sick children at

@mandiramidha
who brought this to life. From our logo, colours, and the final product of the website, Mandira's talent helped those shine who are often behind the scenes.

Successful restaurants value & invest in the overall dining experience.
Delicious food is the bare minimum. I collaborated with Founder to create an amazing (and share-worthy) experience through branding, design, packaging, signage and environment.
been trying to cut back on alcohol this year to understand how it affects my overall wellbeing and ngl now i just do it to see more of these cute lil pink rounded squares on futureland
if you want to roll through, and you have not demo'd in toronto recently, you have to demo to attend.
demos should be projects, theories, and experiments, WIP is fine and revered, 5 mins.
Stoked for

Summit today and to see all the hard work our team put in to produce this incredible, global event!

My therapist, with whom I've met with weekly for the past 5 years died unexpectedly. I'm in shock and devastated. I'm asking my community for support, resources, love and kindness to help me process and grieve this significant and sudden loss.
