What do you do?

I’m a visual storyteller. I’m passionate about taking pictures, telling stories and connecting people online and offline. I work in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside capturing beauty + broadcasting stories about love + redemption on the Communications team at Union Gospel Mission.

Why do you love being a creative in Vancouver?

There's so much variety. In our city, we have polar opposites in close proximity. I can hop on my bike and re-locate from an urban jungle to natural tranquility in less than 30 mins. So for me, there's always a place to draw inspiration from. We also have so many great people making such beautiful things constantly. I feel very inspired by the creative community in Vancouver.

How would you love to collaborate with other local creatives?

I feel inspired and ignited when I see other people express their creativity. I'd love to make something with a writer or illustrator. Cross-pollinate our genres and make something new.

I'd also love to see the creative community getting together more regularly for some delicious meals, throwing around our crazy ideas. Let's do it! Let's see what sticks to the walls! Let's ruminate, germinate + cross-pollinate!

How can people reach you?

I love connecting + collaborating. Ring me up at 604.763.1696 or tweet me @leahgregg.
