Why do you believe in Butterfly?
I know there is a better way to execute client and employee gifting than what the traditional options have been. A beautiful, thoughtful and conscious gift leaves a meaningful impression and supports our community. It also goes a lot farther to display appreciation to the recipient . It's a win-win. 

What do you want to accomplish at Butterfly?
I love it when our clients are introduced to amazing new merchants, makers and artisans. Receiving emails asking where they can find their gift items and buy more is the best. We love to amplify the voice of these incredible small businesses!

How do you give back?
Being a hot yoga junkie I love that Butterfly has been able to support New Leaf Foundation for the last 2 years as part of our 2% of revenue donation. They do amazing work in providing inner city youth with accessible opportunities to take care of their mental, emotional and physical health. So every bit we get to do to support this makes me so happy.

Why do you believe in Butterfly?
I believe in Butterfly because our mission aligns with my values on sustainability, ethical practices and diversity. I love that we are helping to change the ways that big businesses think about how their dollars could be better spent. By curating beautiful and thoughtful gifts we get the chance to spotlight small and diverse businesses. Helping small businesses to grow and get the exposure they deserve brings me joy daily! 

What would you like to accomplish at Butterfly?
I would like to contribute to seeing a shift in how corporations approach spending. Reducing waste, promoting sustainability, respecting workers rights and providing transparency in the supply chain is so important to me. I love that Butterfly is working to promote those values and that I get to be a part of the process. 

How do you give back?
I am a dog lover!! I give back by supporting charities like Puppy Love that help to stop the practice of puppy mills. As well as shelters and rehoming efforts.

Why do you believe in Butterfly? Getting to work with women to create thoughtful, ethical and eco-friendly gifts that support small and diverse Canadian businesses is more than enough reason to believe in Butterfly . I am happy that Butterfly as an organization is closing the gap and amplifying the importance of building a sustainable world.

What do you want to accomplish at Butterfly? I want to see Butterfly as the leading solution to premium client experience when working with sustainable practices. I want Butterfly to become a reference point for Canadians when looking for the link between small businesses and large organizations for meaningful gifts, swag and technology.  

How do you give back? During the Christmas holidays, I volunteer with The Salvation Army to distribute toys to my local community.  I also support immigrant settlement by volunteering with the Kingdom Stars Assembly to ensure they are provided with the required resources to enjoy a smooth experience in Canada.

I believe in Butterfly because I get to work with some amazing women whose values align with mine. Supporting ethical and diverse Canadian small businesses is a great way to spend my day.

What do you want to accomplish at Butterfly?

How do you give back?

I am also on the Development Committee with Fife House. These organisations help to raise much-needed funds and bring awareness to people living with HIV/AIDS.   

Small businesses are the voices of our communities and sourcing local goods has many benefits to our collective quality of life.
