Graduating from the Montreal Center for contemporary textiles in 2014, that's where I fell in love with art embroidery. I then decided to go and train in Europe, at the renowned Ecole Lesage Paris, and the Royal School of Needlework in London. In 2017, I moved to Spain, and studied Spanish embroidery techniques; training at Fermin (a famous bullfighters’ bespoke tailor shop in Madrid), as well as traditional religious gold work in Sevilla. In addition, I collaborated with fashion designers in Madrid. Throughout my career, I participated in exhibitions in Montreal, France and Spain. Some of my commissions and collaborations include Cirque du Soleil, Disney, and Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. In 2019, I founded Studio Textile Montreal; where I offer professional embroidery workshops, produce custom orders for clients, and develop personal work. I collaborate on regular basis with Montreal fashion designers. I'm a teacher at the Montreal Center for contemporary textiles, and I give workshops in Montréal Museums and cultural arts centers.
