I graduated from Montreal’s Lasalle College in Fashion and Costume Design. I have a passion for bringing characters to life, original or not, and designing. I also love researching new and creative techniques that could be helpful to costuming and constructing garments from head to toe. At the moment, I also model most of my projects, though I sometimes have the joy of seeing other people wear my creations. I also enjoy sketching and painting amongst other things!
It is no secret that I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, two autoimmune diseases that have changed the way I see and do my work. As such, I strive to find new ways of using tools and materials that can be challenging to work with for people like me. My work flow is also often influenced by how much I am affected by the diseases for a period of time (as well as my many other hobbies!).
If you have any inquiries about me or my projects, you can contact me via e-mail. I hope you have a pleasant visit!
