Alumni stories

Alicia fortier
I’ve worked as a Game Designer on For Honor at Ubisoft Montreal for the last 4 years. It’s been incredibly challenging, creative, and rewarding work and It’s surreal to be able to help build a game that reaches millions of people. I also now teach Game Design at Champlain College’s Montreal campus, and give workshops for non-profits such as Pixelles and Youth Fusion.

I currently hold a position as Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Geography and Planning at the University of Toronto. With a background in cultural geography, urban planning, and design, my multidisciplinary research focuses on vernacular creativity, communities, and difference in the city.

Samuel Cousin
I lived in Montreal for ten years and for some of that time I studied Computation Arts at Concordia. I’m from a small dying town in north-east Quebec. It used to produce all the paper for the Chicago Tribune. During my degree I did a lot of different projects, mostly visual & interactive things, and coded quite a bit. I was also a teaching assistant for the Speculative Design course, and a research assistant for OBX Labs & Lablablab. I also went on exchange for a year: four months in Poitiers (birthplace of Foucault); four months in Rovaniemi (northernmost McDonald in the world)

Andrea Peña
Andrea Peña is a Colombian, Montreal based, multidisciplinary artist within the fields of choreography and design. Her works are focused on the creation of critical, alternative, performative and spatial universes that question the individual within society, to bring about a consciousness of self within the public and audience.

I received my BFA in Design Art, and also completed the Graduate Certificate Degree at Concordia, before attending the London College of Communication and obtaining my MA in Graphic Design.

Philippe Savard

Sofía Bosch
I was born and raised in Mexico City. I am interested in design as a tool to transition to preferable futures and better public policy creation.
Currently I work at the National Digital Strategy, a Federal Government Office linked to the President’s which aims to digitize government services and leads the Open Data initiative in the country. I am part of the design team, in charge of developing graphic materials and communication in relation to these themes as well as for other Government Offices. In parallel we develop design methodologies which can improve the design process of many of these services. Our main goal is to transmit these processes and methodologies to public servants that are not familiarized with them.

Catherine Cournoyer
I am the designer and co-founder behind the company Noujica. By integrating screen printing, glass work, drawing, and sewing, my colleague and I have created a unique line of clothing and accessories that are handcrafted in our Montreal-based studio since 2008.

Laurence Pilon
I am a multidisciplinary designer creating visual communication strategies across various print and digital media. I specialise in information design, which is defined as the art and science of communicating complex ideas with clarity, precision, and efficiency. Information design is the point of intersection between design, communication, user experience (UX), as well as behavior and cognition disciplines.

I have been working in the field of graphic design and communications since completing graduate studies at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in the UK in 2002. In 2003 I co-founded Atelier Pastille Rose, with the goal of having a more hands-on approach to each design brief. I have been a part-time faculty member of the department of Design and Computation Arts at Concordia University since 2005.
