Me

Interface, web and graphic designer based in Montreal , I am a general and especialy graphic art passionate.

Graduated from Ahuntsic College in preprint graphic design in 2009 and strong of several years of both freelancing and employee experience, I achieved several very ambitious and challenging projects and had the chance to work with outstanding teams, which made me enjoy so much teamwork. Trained as a graphic designer, I specialize in web interface and visual identity design, print, web, and sometimes video advertising design. My creativity draws its energy from simplicity, precision and my perfectionist personnality not to mention the inspiration provided by teamwork.

I also developed a passion for web technologies, in fact I love coding and integrating websites using different technologies that I learned mostly by myself (HTML - CSS - PHP - JAVASCRIPT - CMS implementation), however I can't claim to be a developer. I also have a great interest in mobile technologies which I intend to learn in the near future. I am a fast-learner, curious person that's eager to learn anything that's worth learning.

I also practice several other types of art such as photography, illustration and video editing. Music is an art that I love a lot but I unfortunately have never been good at playing any instrument.

For over 5 years, I have been Voyages Traditours' brand manager, a company with which I evolved and whose growing reputation and success make my pride. Today, I have the priviledge to have met several very ambitious and exciting challenges which built my career. Maybe I 'll have the opportunity to meet yours! So feel free to contact me!
