With no job, no plan and no place to live, Lisa Mok packed up her car and drove from Ottawa to Toronto to pursuit something that she wasn't sure of at the time.

Now. Being the Global Creative Director of Canada Goose and having plenty of awards under her belt, Lisa has proved her success to her traditional Chinese parents. However, she could care less about all these achievements she has earned. In fact, the soft strength and resilience she has manifested allows her to strongly appreciate the small things, moments and imperfections in life. Her passion project, which she re-imagines, redesigns and alters the objects she found, has caught some attention. And if you go to her website at lisamok.ca, you will quickly fall in love with all these beautiful things and find it hard to imagine their not-so-perfect past.
