Daniel Agustin

Hi! I’m Daniel Agustín Villavicencio González, but you can call me Daniel Agustin. I’m the founder of UYC. I was born in Cuenca, Ecuador, and I’m currently 30 years old. I’ve been living in Toronto, Canada, for 11 years now. I came here to study Electrical Engineering at the University of Toronto, and after working for a couple of years in the semiconductor industry, I realized I needed a change. That is when I started putting my hands to work towards forming the amazing team that made possible the dream of UYC. In my spare time I like to hang out with friends, exercise, and dance to Latin rhythms like Salsa, Bachata, Reggaeton, Cumbia, and many others. I enjoy walking around the city when the weather is warm, attending to live music events, trying some delicious food, and staring at the sunset.

Sonia Pan

Hi! I’m Sonia Pan. My last name means "bread" in Spanish. I’m Chinese-Argentinian, currently living in Toronto, Canada. I've had an interest in fashion since I was a teenager. I’m not only a picky eater, but also a picky shopper when it comes to apparel. I love finding rare clothing pieces in thrift stores that you can’t find elsewhere. I'm a sucker for long skirts and have a fixation with the color RED (this is why you'll see it coming up often on our site). I met Daniel in reggaeton dance classes. When he shared after a few months of us meeting that he wanted to start his own clothing brand, I got very excited for him and offered to help. I love catching candid moments of my friends during our hangouts with my digital cameras. I consider myself a successful colonizer... since I've converted my non-Argentinian friends into frequent yerba mate drinkers. Aguante Messi!
