Curiosity drives me. It pushes me to try things, to dive into the unknown, to get my hands dirty. Faced with an interactive work, mine or someone else's, I always want to test its limits, to find the flaw that will make it break. I think that's why I've become a bit addicted to that moment when you finally find the solution to a technical problem you've been wrestling with for hours.
That curiosity quickly led me toward technology. I studied Digital Art at Cité collégiale, where I discovered TouchDesigner - it was love at first sight, even though its complexity was a bit overwhelming at first. Electronics, stage management, and code soon followed, almost naturally, each new tool opening up a new way to bring my ideas to life. That path continued at UQAM, in Immersive and Interactive Experience Creation, where I refined my technical skills, and above all my creative process and methodology.
Today, I'm a creative technologist and creator of immersive and interactive experiences, always looking for the next project or learning opportunity to satisfy my curiosity.
