Rochester / Cinema

An independent movie theater, where there is always something good playing.

Yes- I'm going to anger some people by sharing this hidden gem with you. It is very special and I expect hate mail. They have been serving Japanese comfort food since the late 60's and is the last gasp of a neighborhood in Boyle Heights that was once predominantly Japanese. No frills. Just a warm and loving environment- a place to escape and eat spicy tuna rice bowls and sip miso with your Japanese Grandmother. Shhh, don't tell anyone.

Kyoto / Restaurant

Small restaurant hidden in a backyard, peaceful restaurant. Excellent Italian inspired cuisine and wine.

Los Angeles / Restaurant

Lovely food, superfriendly, good-looking space with great music.

New York / Gallery

The best underground shows you will find will have free pbr and models as far as the eye can see. They are rarely announced, so keep your eyes out for promising openings, especially with Milk Underground coming up.

Amsterdam / Gallery

One of the greatest contemporary galleries in the world. You're welcome.

Oakland / Natural Area

As a dog owner, naturalist, and freelance illustrator, escaping my home office and exploring beautiful (and dog-friendly) hiking trails is high on my list. I’m lucky to live in an area surrounded by incredible, diverse landscapes that I can get to in under 20 minutes. One of my favorites is the Serpentine Prairie Trail in the Redwood Regional Park. I love going an hour or two before sunset when the light is golden and the prairie practically glows. In April, I visited at this golden hour and was delighted to see an explosion of California poppies. The view here is spectacular--in one direction, I can see the tops of the coastal redwoods, mixed evergreen forest, chaparral, and grassland. In the other direction, where the sun is setting, is the bustling city of Oakland down below, but all I can hear is the wind through the grass and the croaking of ravens.

Austin / Bar

Listed here as a bar, this is actually a brewery offering up a diverse selection of highly original sour-mash beers. I've yet to have something I didn't like in their tight and bustling tasting room, which is surrounded by great East Side eateries, but standouts are the Spirit Animal (sour pale) and the Professor Black (sour cherry stout). They also have a fun, short brewery tour on the weekends that's worth checking out.

Prague / Restaurant

Love this place for having lunch with my coleagues or friends. Always calm mood. No rush. Nice people and best kitchen.

Barcelona / Beauty Salon

This is a hairdressing saloon in a penthouse, this means: terrace, music and cocktails such as the Blondy Mary.

Copenhagen / Bridge

Dronning Louises Bro (Queen Louise's Bridge) is a bridge in central Copenhagen, between Nørrebro and central Copenhagen. A good spot for a beer in the summertime.

Stockholm / Restaurant

If you like nature wine and the french foodie scene go here. Reminds me of Paris in Stockholm.

Toronto / Creative Director

I am a global trotter with shoes and books in 3 different cities - Toronto, London, and Lisbon. I live to dance, and dance to live. I play the cello, follow a plant-based diet, and can speak Portuguese, Spanish, English, and basic French. Now on a more serious note... My path to Creative Director started in Lisbon, Portugal, and has taken me to many places since, including Vancouver; London, England; and Toronto. It all started in 2011 when I landed my first job at a book publisher designing educational flash games for textbook CDROMs. Since then, I've been developing my career as a creative director, working for Unit9, Nexus, and now Jam3, designing interactive storytelling projects in AR, web, and experiential tech for clients such as Google, MArc Jacobs, Samsung, Amazon, Estee Lauder, Pepsi, TikTok, Netflix, and Adidas. In between I headed the digital department at Warner Bros. Records (UK), where I focused on content strategy, creative direction, and driving digital storytelling and innovation for artists campaigns such as Muse, Liam Gallagher, and Dua Lipa; After work, I volunteer my time and give back to the community and industry by being involved in multiple mentorship programs in Portugal, the UK, and Canada. I also provide pro-bono services to nonprofits such as Help Heal Humanity, A Woman’s Worth, and One Cause a Day and have developed my personal project ReMIND Academy, a community-based learning program that stimulates critical thinking and creativity in young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. I hold a BA in Communication Design, an MA in New Media, a Diploma in Digital Design, and a TEFL certificate.
