The people who made ION Issue#58 happen

Get acquainted with some of our wonderful contributors, INTERN [DANIEL JOHN HARDY] and PHOTOGRAPHER [NORMAN WONG]

INTERN [DANIEL JOHN HARDY]
Aside from being our intern, Daniel John Hardy also wrote the article on Complexgeometries for this issue. Growing up in beautiful Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Daniel moved to Toronto and is currently attending the Fashion Arts program at Humber Institute of Advanced Learning. He loves Toronto, but also enjoys being in Vancouver where he can look at the mountains and the ocean and know everything is going to be okay. Daniel plans to work with ION in the future and also wants to learn how to cook, play tennis and speak Japanese, but not all at the same time.
