Founder & Events Director
A designer, writer and community activist, Sonja Rasula founded UNIQUE LOS ANGELES in order to bring together and support the creative community, encourage local shopping, and offer a large-scale event in which the mainstream could discover new artists, clothing designers, etc. Before owning her own design business and stationery/gift line, Sonja was an interior designer on HGTV and TLC’s ‘Trading Spaces’. She also starred as a Pop Culture Expert on the Canadian music television stations MuchMusic and MuchMoreMusic.
Passionate about community, Sonja lends her time as Executive Director of YPM, an LA-based non-profit that increases local voting among young people. Sonja grew up in Echo Park (Los Angeles), where she learned to love music, the arts, diversity, skateboarding, shopping, and churros. She's a Pop Culture Vulture and a fan of chocolate malts, sneakers, biking, and naps. She’s proud of UNIQUE and is happy you’re here.
Media Producer & Production Coordinator
Jonathan Sager produces everything from the videos you see to special areas at the event. He attended CalArts, lives in Silverlake and is quite the sushi expert.
Intern Extraordinaire
Scripps student, and fellow fashionista, Caroline Haines is currently figuring out what to say here... :)
The Volunteers
The event cannot run without a team of amazing volunteers. Happy to help with signing people in, making sure the media gets what they want, or leading the DIY Lab, UNIQUE volunteers are second to none. If you’d like to volunteer at the event or join the amazing (and fun) marketing Street Team, please email us at volunteer@uniquelosangeles.com.
