From content creation and animation, to art, technical, and creative direction, Jacques has collaborated with agencies, studios, and worked independently to deliver award-winning work.

Why Digital Media?
I chose the MDM program at TMU to deepen my expertise in game engines and build my programming skills while continuing to evolve as an educator. The program’s interdisciplinary focus aligns with my research interests, offering the perfect environment to collaborate with like-minded co-conspirators and push my creative and technical boundaries. I am eager to leverage the program’s resources, faculty expertise, and freedom from client constraints to develop a thesis project that not only propels my career forward but also expands the possibilities of my work. The intersection of art and technology has always driven my work, and I’m confident that the MDM program will help me discover the "third piece of the puzzle" I’ve been seeking to elevate my practice.
