What is your guilty pleasure?

Tiffany Pratt: In design: expensive wallpaper. In life: chocolate.

Carson Arthur: I’m a magazine hound! I love Modern Farmer, Gardens Illustrated and of course Canadian Living! Give me glossy pages with lots of content and inspiration and I’m happy. I’m a DIYer to the core!

Sarah Richardson: Champagne and sea salt chocolate, neither of which I feel the least bit guilty about.

What is one thing people may not know about you?

Jo Alcorn: I am hockey player, I went down to the states on a hockey scholarship and now I play ball hockey competitively.

Carson Arthur: I’m a geek. I love board games, reading fantasy books and all things vampires and swords! I know; it’s a slippery slope to ‘larping'.

Sarah Richardson: I'm very hands on and really believe in doing it all—vacuuming, scrubbing, coffee runs, making lunches, manual labour—you name it, I'm doing it.

If I was not designing I would be…

Sarah Richardson: Cooking. I've always said that if my design career tanks I'd open a sandwich shop (a really yummy gourmet one).

Jo Alcorn: A race car driver!

Mia Parres: A horse trainer, as I've always had a love for equestrianism. I would love to rescue horses and build beautiful barns for them to live in.
