I am a multimedia designer with over seven years of experience including time with the Canadian Armed Forces, designing graphics and models for animations to train Canadian soldiers.

I mainly use Blender, Illustrator, After Effects, and Photoshop for my current work. These skills transfer into other software I've used in the past such as 3dsMax, Maya, Lightwave, Substance Painter, Substance Designer.

I've worked with large and small teams and can give valuable insight into their inner workings, sharing how you can be an asset in both.

Whether you're looking to work with large groups or alone I can help mentor you through the process.

I've mentored many young artists during my time working for the Canadian Armed Forces, and have the skills to help train you properly.

I also completed training in team coordination, so I can edit efficiently and stay organised.

I work both for large companies and the music industry, as well as on small, independent project, depending on whether the music speaks to me.

I'll teach you how to edit videos and films, for personal or commercial use. My software of choice is the full Adobe suite; for sound I use Ableton, and to a lesser extent Pro Tools.

I am a social media content creator.

I edit my photos myself, and I also create my videos from A to Z.

Here is what I can bring you:
- Learn how to frame your photos and modify them, for example with Lightroom.
- I work with an iPhone, but if you have an Android, I will see with you how to use it best.
- Teach video creation and editing with CapCut:
- Advice on equipment, even on a limited budget.
- Tips for getting started on social networks (I'm more specialized on Instagram).

Short story :
I have been present on Instagram as a content creator since 2021. However, I took it more seriously from June 2023. At that point, I started posting five times a week (instead of four to five times a month) and making videos (previously, I was more focused on photos). By June, my videos reached 2,000 views, and around 300 people viewed my stories. Today, some of my videos exceed 10,000 views, and some have even exceeded 100,000 views, not to mention the more than 1,000 people who view my stories.
