"I am a very first-generation Canadian artist, working as an illustrator and a designer from the Montreal Studio. After studying both illustration and design at college and university and now working in a variety of fields employing both streams of knowledge to produce stunning and vibrant pictures for editorials, packaging and publication, among others."

What would you say about your personal style?

"I think of my style as high-contrast, colorful and bold sometimes with a subtle social justice message hiding somewhere. I am a total color-lover and kind of a maximalist in my art style."

What are the most important things to consider when creating your illustration?

"An important element of my art is to create art that is reflective of my beliefs and values. I'm not the loudest or extrovert, and so I often make use of my work to convey my beliefs, speak out about injustices and raise awareness to causes that mean a much for me."
