ABOUT



Who is Maël?





Maël is a multidisciplinary visual thinker and problem solver. He creates visuals and design documents in support of film, publishing, marketing, and the built environment.


He cares about telling important stories and providing a megaphone to neglected points of view. He values honouring the history and artifacts of places, while seeking to do more with less and always seeking new ways to achieve project goals with sustainability front of mind.


Maël earned a masters in landscape architecture from the University of California, Berkeley and a Bachelor of Science in Global Resource Systems from the University of British Columbia. He has worked in India, Germany, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali and France, and is now based in Vancouver, Canada.



?Why work with Maël





Maël takes great pride in providing services without ego nor nonsense, always favouring plain language over 'archibabble'. Instead, what you get is an open minded creative collaborator, a tireless problem solver, and a bottomless well of optimism. Work can be fun, impactful and rewarding.


Before dedicating himself to art and design, Maël had a previous career in international development and advocacy. Those experiences reshaped his values and continue to influence his current practice as an artist and designer, lending him a unique combination of skills and a wealth of perspective with which to interpret and deliver your projects.


Maël is available for local and remote contracts.
