Strategist

I may be Indian by birth, but I say sorry (sohr-ee) more than the average Canadian.

 

I don dresses in winter because it's hard to feel fabulous in pants.

 

I once traveled 400 kilometers just for a dinner with a view.

 

I quote Friends on a regular basis.

 

I see Sunday brunch as a religion.

 

I consider airports my favorite place in the world. Where else can you people-watch without judgment? (Sephora is a close second.)

 

My identity isn’t where I come from. It’s what I’ve picked up along the way, and I’m constantly looking for new things to add to my collection.

 

If there is one thing I have learned from life, it is the importance of letting the world mold you. To let it challenge your perceptions and your assumptions. To help you form new ones. This mindset is what drives my work in advertising. I ask questions and I listen—not to respond, but to understand.
