Yes, I am a shoe designer, and run my own (footwear, graphics, branding) design consultancy here in Toronto.

First time here, checking it out...

...In the meantime, consider me a fun, and design oriented professional with a wide range of experiences and successes, looking to share the fun, meet others with similar interests and get out there for some good conversation,and good times.

I am looking for a similarly professionally-oriented, intelligent, goal seeking woman, with high personal and life standards who enjoys anything from a night out at the opera to cooking a great meal together and sharing a good glass of wine, to mad dancing to Motown at a local bar. An appreciation for diverse food, culture and travel is a plus.

I'm equally happy to spend a weekend checking out antique shops on Queen W for the perfect mid century modern vintage find as I am spending a day at Holt's shopping or kicking around on the sofa watching a good flick or reading the latest McSweeny's Quarterly.

I've lived in Denmark, and travelled the world for both business and pleasure and would like to share all the good things in my life with a real woman that I can feel comfortable bringing home to mom and dad should the occasion present itself (no need to rush, though if I can get my mom off my back and bring a "nice girl" home, all the better!).

I'm 5'8", in good health and always am looking for the perfect balance of hard work and play. I value intellect, self-confidence, solid family values and morales and the ability to hold a good conversation over partying all week and constantly updating your twitter feed and/or facebook photo (though I'm certainly not a homebody).

I'd like to take this experience seriously and have a good time while doing it. I'm not looking for casual encounters, one night stands or wasting anyone's time, but developing a good friendship and seeing where things go from there.

I'm honest, open, caring and down to earth and hope you are the same.

Picnic and antique shopping?

High tea and people watching?

Bowling and wine tasting?

St. Lawrence market shopping and gourmet hot dogs?

Test driving cars and a greasy spoon diner?

I'm open to most things and always value a new experience, something creative and something to remember. You never know when the first date may be the first of many, and something you want to remember!
