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.

Take us through your setup

My setup is mainly aimed at productivity.

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