I'm a Montreal-based designer and illustrator working across campaigns, packaging, and merch. My work blends bold illustration with design to build visual systems that feel distinct, expressive, and built to live in the real world. I’ve created artwork and merchandise for artists like Arcade Fire and DJO, and was nominated for a Juno Award for Album Artwork of the Year for Tegan & Sara’s Crybaby. My work has also been shortlisted for the World Illustration Awards. I’m typically brought in to take a direction and turn it into strong, cohesive visuals, whether that’s campaign assets, packaging, or illustration-led design systems. Best suited for teams that need high-quality execution with a clear point of view.
