Stratford / Cafe

One of my favourite places to get coffee in downtown Stratford. Great coffee and treats made in house as well as lunch options to sit in or take out. The chocolate chip and sea salt cookie is a staple for our son Tomo.

Stratford / Cafe

A go to coffee spot for our family. They specialize in espresso based drinks and baked goods which are made on site. On Saturdays they offer two varieties of homemade doughnuts which are not to be missed. Make sure you get there early. They usually sell out pretty fast.

Stratford / Food Store

This is a great spot for groceries as well as frozen prepared foods and take out. All of the baked goods are made in house and they offer a number of lunch options through their bowl and smoothie bar. This place is great because they strive to be a zero waste one-stop shop that really cares about their impact on the environment. There’s a great selection of local products and produce as well including many bulk items including dry foods, cleaning and household supplies.

Stratford / Restaurant

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Stratford. AO is a casual spot specializing in made to order pasta using noodles which they make on site. They have a revolving menu which changes seasonally, but offer some staples like their Bucatini all'amatriciana and arancini.

Los Angeles / Photographer

I am a Los Angeles based photographer that shoots film. I also enjoy gardening and cooking.

São Paulo / Artist

Camila Pinheiro is a brazilian artist based in São Paulo. "The appealing use of clean lines, negative space and tropical colours in Camila Pinheiro's distinctive illustrations hint at the Brazilian artist's South American roots and high fashion background. She began her career studying fashion in São Paulo, before landing a job with Dior and then as a "cool hunter" for a range of brands. It was during that stint that she realised she wanted to know more about the branding behind the luxury labels, and that's when she decided to become a designer and illustrator. After a little more studying under her belt, she worked for various branding agencies for six years and then decided to launch her own studio. Everything she produces has to have a narrative, a habit she developed in the marketing industry. Her influences range from Magritte, Matisse and Mondrian to Alexander Girard and Michael Roberts."
