In the wide territories between art and technology, Sylvain leads multi-disciplinary teams that create immersive journeys for non-traditional canvas.
While a genuine interest in storytelling of all forms brought him to combine design, video, and scenography for the production of immersive and interactive experiences, it’s his love for artists, audiences, and collaboration that brought him to dive into the world of Design Thinking, User Experience, and Creative Leadership in an ongoing quest for better creative processes.
Eyes wide open, with a playful mind, Sylvain is always looking for the next tools and ideas that will help him craft meaningful experiences at the intersection of the physical and digital landscapes.
Sylvain lives in Tiohtiá:ke - Mooniyang / Montréal and is currently a full-time Creative Director at Phi Centre.
