Vancouver is an amazing city, chock full of creative talent. WE ARE VANCVR is a simple, elegant way to showcase all that talent in one place. Every Tuesday we profile one individual from the VANCVR community.VANCVR.com is a Domain7 Labs project, inspired by PRTLND.com.

Anyone who has visited VANCVR.com in the last month will recognize Nikita and Natasha from their epic avatars—and chances are if you work at any Vancouver agency, you've met with them at some point. Fact is they are just as fun and creative in real life as they appear. These two are serious about collaboration and reaching out to Vancouver's creative community to do work in a diverse range of media. Which we think is just straight up cool.

What do you do?

For work, we do graphics and web design. For fun Nikita is a B Boy (break dancer) and Natasha is a professional dancer.

Why do you love being creative in Vancouver?

We love being creatives in Vancity because of the scenery. When it gets stressful in the office, lunch breaks consist of inspiring bike rides to get the creative juices flowing or a walk in the downtown East Side to see the contrasts of people and life.

How would you love to collaborate with local creatives?

We are always collaborating with local creatives. We both have friends and relationships with an array of talented artists in the city. We love to get our hands dirty with anything creative. Mixing graphics with dance along side with photography.

The possibilities are endless.
