Multidisciplinary director, animator, designer living and working in Montreal, QC.

I've worked on projects for Apple, Google, Under Armour, IBM, Starbucks and many others either directly or with studios such as ManvsMachine, Brand New School, Buck, Designstudio and Oddfellows to name a few.
I love to highlight strong graphic compositions paired with playful rhythm and my background in graphic design as well as my love for cinema made me fond of typography, working with people and animation in all its forms.

I also occasionally teach motion design at the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM).
