Meet Adrien
Originally born in Montpellier and brought up in Bogotá, Adrien found his way to Vancouver where he now calls home.

Meet Oscar
Meet Old Man Oscar.
He’s not really old or a man, but he sure acts like one.
Oscar is 5 years old and he’s pretty much your typical black cat, he is extremely weird but very loving when you earn his trust.
Oscar is currently working as a full-time nap taker.
What we’re currently up to
Vancouver is honestly one of the best places in the world and while we often entertain the thought of moving to the French countryside, we’re currently enjoying Vancouver as our home base.
Adrien is currently working in the VFX industry here in Vancouver and he also teaches VFX for The Gnomon Workshop. In his spare time, you can find him working on personal projects at home.
May currently works in destination marketing, taking care of all things social media related at Destination Vancouver. Outside of work, she’s taking on freelance client work and enjoys exploring Vancouver in her free time.
