That's too hard. Hereā€™s a long list because Iā€™m indecisive.

8. What are you doing to help the environment?

I try to make conscious buying decisions, and have been eating more vegetarian-based meals.Ā And I havenā€™t owned a car until just recently too. Thatā€™s thanks to the great public transport systems in the cities Iā€™ve lived in. I'd like to get on my bike more often for making short tripsĀ butĀ biking up Eglinton Road is hard yakka.

9. Your lifelong dream?

Buy a house in Italy to have as a second home. Near the alps for skiing in the winter, but close enough to a train station to get to the beaches in Summer.Ā 

To be honest Iā€™m not even on the board for a first home, but cosƬ ĆØ la vita!

10. What were you doing before Print RoomĀ and what brought you here?Ā 

I was living in London, working in the creative team for an education charity. Before that, in Amsterdam working for a business development agency in the design and architecture space.

Wood fired, Napoletana style pizzas. And wine.
