A few days ago I read about the launch of Vinisimo and suddenly realised I knew who the graphic designer was… I’ve been waiting for a photo and some images from her for a while, but I think this one will do :) Thank you Marie-Claude for speaking with me, could you describe yourself and… Continue reading Looking for design: Marie-Claude Doyon

Apologetic press release
Ben often says I speak “europanto”, that has its disadvantages too.

I never did learn English grammar properly (learnt it in… Continue reading Apologetic press release

For those of you that have never had the pleasure of visiting this great country, Canada is legally a bilingual country: french and english are the 2 official languages.
