Hi,
I'm Sebastien —
Welcome to my online portfolio. With this portfolio I hope to showcase past and present
projects I’ve worked on in various types of media. Mainly working as a Graphic Designer, but
I’ve also had first hand experience with photography, video, and web design.
Having graduated from the Photography program at Algonquin College in 2011, I realized I wanted
to explore more of the digital side to creating. I went on to complete the General Arts &
Sciences certificate program at Algonquin and then over to the Interactive Media Design program
and graduating in 2017.
My studies have further enhanced my passion for growing in the creative field and allows me to
apply that knowledge to my current projects. I am currently working as an in-house Graphic
Designer, and am open to freelance opportunities.
