Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

Hey! I’m a commercial photographer, videographer and editor from Montréal, Canada.

I’ve always had a passion for tech in general, as well as creative outlets.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, but after working in advertising agencies as well as companies as a media and content strategist, I decided to follow my passions for photography and videography.

In 2018, I quit my secure full-time job to become self-employed and work with my own clients as a freelance photographer and videographer.

I developed a real interest in home office setups and designing my space when my fiancée and I purchased our first home.

I got into the rabbit hole of YouTube desk setups and gathered inspiration from many different sources to create a space that I would love working in and that would fit my needs.

I wanted to have my own creative haven, where I feel inspired and creative, whether I’m editing photos or videos, or even if I’m working on other personal projects.

My setup is mainly aimed at productivity.

I wanted it to be quite minimalistic, without any visual clutter or visible cables.
