Terri Potratz, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Terri has been a freelance fashion writer for two years, contributing to both local and international publications. She has also worked as a stylist and costumer for film, television and editorial photo shoots. After nearly a year as a staff writer and photographer for INFAMOUS Magazine Terri adjusted effortlessly into her role as editor and publisher of The Conveyor Belt, and is dedicated to promoting Vancouver style within the global fashion community. She continues to freelance for other companies and publications, and is always keen on taking on a new subject or challenge. In 2008 Terri also launched larry. designs, a knitwear company whose mandate is to support BC farmers and artisans by using locally sourced materials to construct unique and modern designs.

Carleen McLeod, Beauty Editor

She is an accredited teacher and will harness all of these skills to provide The Conveyor Belt readers with realistic how-to techniques to achieve beautiful hair and make up styles, plus you can also catch up with her in person at holts salon and spa in downtown Vancouver.

Pariya Kaligi, Contributing Writer
Public relations consultant and published writer Pariya Kaligi has been involved with the Vancouver fashion scene on various levels. Through her social column “Social Seen,” published in Make-it-Business Magazine, she has documented fashion events and productions throughout the city of Vancouver. In addition to her journalistic coverage of the fashion industry, Pariya has also provided Public Relations consultation for numerous fashion shows and industry events.

Kris Krug, Contributing photographer
Publishing voraciously since 1998, Kris’ diverse talent and unique balance of aesthetics and technology is well-known throughout the Interwebs. After launching and managing successful online magazines in San Francisco, Kris returned to Vancouver - where he’d attended college studying philosophy and communications - to apply his knowledge as President of Drupal hosting start-up, Bryght. As well known for his unique, ultra-personal photographic style as for his business acumen, KK is in demand as a speaker about social media, the future of entertainment and public relations, and growing businesses across borders. Alas, he is often busy shooting models and rockstars so he can’t make it to *all* the events, but if you are quick enough, you might catch him before he jets off to another country, another gig, or to strike another deal as new President of web agency Raincity Studios.
