Ingrie Williams

Williams is a freelance writer and co-founder of The T-Zone, a digital platform that covers all aspects of the beauty industry. For “10 Great Things” (p. 20), she curated the best of the cult beauty products currently driving a market boom. “I started with a long list of iconic and viral beauty products and narrowed it down based on performance, colour and formula.”

Soraya Roberts

Cultural critic Roberts covers the arts and is a contributing writer for New York-based Defector Media. For Canadian Business, she looked into what’s happening behind the scenes at the non-profit film organization TIFF Lightbox following the loss of its biggest sponsor (“Inside the Box,” p. 38). “It was challenging to get people to speak on the record,” she says. “I had a couple of saviours who did—that was pretty brave.”

Carmen Cheung

Toronto-based Cheung is an editorial photographer whose work regularly appears in Chatelaine and Toronto Life. For CB, she turned her lens on Happy Pops founder Leila Keshavjee (“How I Made It,” p. 12). “I think I can be a pretty disarming person,” says Cheung, who has a knack for capturing natural-looking portraits. “If I had a superpower, that would be it.”

Nada Hayek

Hayek is an illustrator and graphic designer living in Vancouver. For this issue, she created retroinspired artwork to bring to life our Innovation Awards (p. 51), which celebrate the companies in Canada that are defying the status quo. “I like balancing the weird and strange with something bright and playful,” she says. Her illustrations are regularly featured in The New Yorker and the New York Times Book Review.
