Lisa Jones - OCAD

Lisa has always been a creative person, and believes the world would be very boring without creative people. Toronto-born and Richmond Hill-raised, she is a graduate of Ontario College of Art and Design, can play the trumpet and piano, and loves everything about graphic design. Her interests extend to anything else creative, and include the music genres of R&B, earlier hip hop, soca, motown, old school and, especially, 60’s and 70’s soul music. Favourite movies fall anywhere from musicals to edgy thrillers that challenge the norm. She currently co-owns the graphic design business X HEIGHT MEDIA.

Leslie Jones - OCAD

Leslie Jones is a true Aquarian and independent thinker with a deep-seeded love for good music. “I AM (the real) hip hop, soca and 60s/70s Motown and Soul hits, though I do celebrate songs from various genres and ages.” Born Canadian and reared on Barbadian ideals, Leslie shares her working and living space with identical twin/older sister Lisa, who she shares childhood memories of sports, band classes and Air Cadets.
“I evolved from the tomboy with a creative streak, musically inclined, and actually liking school, to what I am today- a graphic designer and business owner with a love for all things creative.” She currently co-owns the graphic design business X HEIGHT MEDIA.

Michael Gatioan - George Brown College

Michael is a grad of architecture from the Philippines. Moved to Canada in 2006 to pursue graphic design, and found out a little later that advertising is his creative niche. Michael is a very quiet person, but with a loud imagination. And with all the creative things life has to offer, one aspect of which that he has been very frustrated at, is learning the art of cooking. View Michael Gatioan portfolio (PDF, 3MB)

Daria Sukman - Toronto Image Works

Daria had her first conscious spiritual, artistic experience when she was in Kindergarten. She remembers standing at the easel, painting. She felt like she was in a protective bubble and there was no such thing as time, like it was yesterday's memory. Daria followed her art to Humber College for Advertising and Design. Sheridan College for Computer Graphics and then Toronto Image Works for Print and Web Design. After working in print and broadcast media, she has been attracted back to Illustration and wish to bring it all to the next level in her creative development as an artist.
