Montreal. He began his professional life at
Scéno More (1996-2000), where he is part
of the creative team of theaters of Cirque du
Soleil. In 2001, he became a founding member
of the worker cooperative, Polygon Studio,
where he worked on the architectural projects
for many architectural firms. Currently, he is
the principal architect at Boom Town.
