Patrick is an independent contractor, entrepreneur and artist doing work primarily under Daly Co. Design with a foundation of Industrial Design from Emily Carr University. He has been with TWIG since the beginning, seeking connections after school stepped into the organizer role in 2017. Wood is his creative medium, and specifically wood from BC as he sees the impact it can have on a social, environmental and cultural level.

He practices process that create new connections within material, organizations, industry and people to create projects that are circular in their economy. His work can be found across the city of Vancouver and he works out of Space - an ecosystem of shared spaces he is the founder of in East Vancouver offering creators and innovators space to work.

Neil is a business consultant, trainer and coach based in Vancouver. In a career that spans more than 35 years, he has worked with companies and organizations of all sizes and kinds, and in recent years has focused on the value added wood products industry. He loves wood and enjoys working with people “who make (beautiful) things out of wood, before they sell it.”

He was an early member and co-organizer with Outside The Box, and is excited about its metamorphosis into TWIG. While he (apparently) lacked talent in woodworking (his Grade Seven carpentry teacher said he would pass him only if he promised not to return the following year), he went on to design and construct many pieces of furniture for his homes.

Jason is the Managing Director at the UBC Centre for Advanced Wood Processing.  He is one of the founders and organizers of the TWIG (Outside the Box) groups.  The meetup groups was formed to inspire and educate industrial designers to incorporate wood as natural and sustainable building material, and to connect the designers to manufacturers with capabilities to assist with production. 

He has worked in the wood products industry for over 20 years primarily focused on process improvement initiatives in larger scale manufacturing. He brings his knowledge and expertise of the industry to assist designers and start-ups with product development and manufacturing solutions.
