L’Art du Réseau
Booklet

The Bad Plus: Activate Infinity
Vinyl & Poster
Vinyl record and poster for then-jazz trio now-quartet The Bad Plus' 15th album.
Led by a shimmering gold relief, a series of visual counterparts to the album's musical components deconstruct and rearrange themselves in new-yet-familiar ways over a velvety black backdrop.
← Exit
Poster discussing inappropriate patterns of behavior facilitated by the imbalance of power between faculty and students.
Self-assured but tense, a quote from an academic article draws attention to the poster. The text contextualizing it can only be read from up close, requiring that onlookers examine it carefully.

Damian+Cosmas Ibuprofen
Packaging
Packaging for a line of painkillers borrowing names from the patron saints of medicine.
Introducing a confident voice to the aisles they live in, assertive shapes and cheerful apple-green bottles set this trio apart from their dreary shelfmates.
← Exit
Short promotional video welcoming visitors back to the Montréal Insectarium after a three-year metamorphosis.
Bringing silhouettes from the new building to life, a playful mascot invites budding entomologists to create their own imaginary insects in a new, interactive exhibit.

Thomas Schütte: I'm still alive
Art Book
Humble compendium of understated german artist Thomas Schütte's artwork.
A true multidisciplinary, Schütte's choice of medium is limited only to the physical nature of the corporal experiences he illustrates.
This airy paper gallery painstakingly aligns his work with distinctive letterforms and wraps it all in a modest but intriguing hardcover.

Out of the Park

Shot at Parc Grier↗
Marked by a penchant for bold shapes in structured, type-based systems, my practice is motivated by a curiosity for finding joy in the mundane.
Balancing nuanced and candid tones, every corner of the work here was made with care and intention, guided by a staunch commitment to authenticity.
