Leonard’s artistic odyssey began a decade ago when he came to Toronto “with two suitcases and $1,800 and no plans.” “View the VIBE,” a Toronto magazine, named Leonard the city’s best latte artist, which led to an appearance on Canada AM and things just took off from there, starting with an invitation by the Property Brothers to be featured at the producers’ ball at TIFF in 2016. A slew of sponsors like Nespresso soon came knocking and corporate gigs followed.
