Alicia Savin
AKA Creative Director
Guilty Pleasure: Snacks
What three words would your friends use to describe you: Upbeat, friendly and, depending on who you ask, probably annoying.
What’s your favorite story to tell about your past: I survived a hot air balloon crash on my 27th birthday.
Favorite pastime: Being outside. Swimming in a lake, camping, skiing, going for a hike, biking. I start to lose my shit if I spend too much time indoors.
What’s something you’ve done but you’ll never do again: I once ate turtle soup. I’ll stop right there.
Beverage and snack of choice: Whiskey on the rocks and cheezies.
The zombie apocalypse is coming; who are three people you want on your team: Rosie (don’t be fooled by her quiet demeanor, she’s a badass), Brad Pitt from Fight Club (preferably in the pink bathrobe) and the Genie from Aladdin because he would come in handy.
Defining life moment: As cliche as it sounds, having my sons. Those two changed everything in my life, especially my disposable income and free time.
What led you to this career: Honestly, I just really love designing fun, unique spaces. I’ve done it since I was a kid. Even when I’m not “working”, my brain is constantly spinning with ideas on how to make a space different. How to give it some personality. I turned this passion into a business that I’m really proud of.

Beverage and snack of choice: A nice cup of tea and anything smothered in chocolate.

Defining life moment: Arriving in Vancouver from London with my husband and 3 year old, never having visited before, knowing no one, and ready to start a whole new life.
What led you to this career: An amazing friendship and a preference for working behind the scenes.
