Contributors SB NG Sukhie Basra Allie Cooper Christina Dang Navneet Gillan Sukhie Basra was born in En- gland but moved to Canada as a young adult and always had a love for passion and style. She believes that style should not be compromised due to a client’s budget and endeavours to work with her clients to dress to impress without breaking the bank. Her clothing line, Saffron by KB (specializing in Banarasi Handloom pieces) was cre- ated for dressing women over 30 in Lower Mainland. Allie Cooper is the owner of Alex & Lily Home, a Vancou- ver based, interior design and events company. Her passions include organizing, planning, shopping, social- izing and finding the right piece for any puzzle. “Do what you love and you will never work another day in your life.” Christina is an overly-orga- nized person in my everyday life, so it only made sense that she has a career where attention to detail really does matter. The creative side of her was intrigued and inspired by photo booth design so it was natural for her to begin Dang Good Productions which is her full-time venture.
