Ma mission est de traduire votre projet visuellement avec authenticité pour vous positionner à l'avant garde.

My mission is to visually translate your vision with authenticity. I also work on projects that don't shy away from the complexities of the human experience.

As such, I have worked with foundations like the Canadian Race relations Foundation, ethical companies like Dispatch and educational institutions like UMontreal and many culturally specific projects. I am very sensitive to the current realities regarding AI, climate change and social justice.

I have a background in Neuroscience with a touch of AI. I have also taught biology in CÉGEP and implemented strategies to include more art and critical thinking with regards to AI usage in my classes. I also studied copywriting and social media marketing.

Here are a few of my projects:

Social media video content: SPRING 2026

I have worked with brands, entrepreneurs and exciting projects. From a branding perspective, I try to focus on their content pillars and be very intentional with the content.

Here are 3 specific examples from my 2026 spring season that are more energetic, require a lot of flexibility and coverage on a "vibes" level:

CRRF: Canadian Race Relations Foundation (2026)

For their specific campaign, NARF ( National Anti-Racism Fund), I interviewed and produced multiple vignette style videos for their website and social media presence. They also organized a conference day for dialogue for the Province of Québec realities at the Palais des Congrès at Montreal. For the coverage of this event they received a full photo gallery and short video style that discussed the goal and importance of this event.
