Throughout the nineties, he worked as a freelance graphic designer and art director for some of Montreal's leading advertising agencies, while also teaching courses in computer graphics and 3D animation at Dawson College.

He has since worked in fashion, sports, portrait, and event photography. In recent years, he has pushed the boundaries of digital imagery by blending his technical expertise with his creative eye, experimenting with immersive VR, 360-degree photography, drone image capture, and the latest advancements in AI-augmented imagery.
