Raquel Di Cresce is a multidisciplinary artist and creative entrepreneur based in Toronto with Caribbean and Italian roots. With over five years of experience in the legal cannabis industry—including roles from production at MedReleaf and Aurora to retail management at one of Canada's leading cannabis companies—she brings a unique blend of industry knowledge, artistic vision, and community-building energy to every project. Her work spans visual art, DJing, poetry, music, 3D design, fashion, and multimedia, often exploring themes of transformation, inner child healing, and spiritual expression. Rooted in a deep ancestral connection to herbalism and cannabis as a plant ally, her creative practice serves as both a personal healing journey and a bridge to collective experiences. A passionate advocate for holistic wellness and emerging technology, she develops innovative, experience-based offerings such as cannabis-infused beverages, private cannabarista services, custom fashion, and immersive audiovisual art. She’s also a member of the Bloomers Collective, a Toronto-based BIPOC arts initiative, where she performs, collaborates, and continues to evolve her DJ and music career. Through live events, open decks, and collaborative gatherings, she aims to create safe spaces for adults to play, express, and connect. Her mission is to use creativity as a tool for healing and community building—infusing every endeavor with purpose, imagination, and care.
