About

Team

Francois D.

Johnny-come-lately Frank bungee jumped (sans cord) out of the pockets of Big Pharma and into the magical world of motion design. With an eye for sleek sedans, this guy has future G7 leader written all over him. He’s one of the rare folks at Gimmick you’ll find a button-up shirt.

Benoit F.

The unicorn moments when this man goes cap-less reveal one magnificent head of hair. A hot-sauce guru and prince of hair-care pontification, Ben is nothing short of the creative brains behind Gimmick.

Gabrielle D.

Gab—a.k.a. Ggold—has the distinction of being the creator of “LA VIE,” the all- important tool that keeps the studio’s proverbial train on the tracks.

Verv.

A semi-retired skateboarder from Victoriaville, Alex works wonders with keyframes. This AD Jedi is crazy about the Skittles served in the suites at the Bell Centre.

Lulú

First individual to rep the beautiful country of Mexico in the team, Lulú is our Spanish personal teacher. She is ultra-talented yet so discreet and unpretentious. Her main challenge is to get used to minus 20 C temperature, but she’ll get there soon enough :)

Gabriel B.

Gab is Mr. Versatility, both sartorially and professionally speaking. Hailing from Trois-Rivières, this jack-of-all-trades fuels up with Kirkland granola bars and Asian snack mix.

Nicolas O.

First Brie, then Camembert . . . and now the big cheese at Gimmick. The team’s first French import pairs mind-boggling talent with a wealth of experience. Nico is also known to be generous with the Fireball, should you happen to be working late at the office.

Camille B.

Born, raised, and still living in beautiful Quebec city, Camille is the team's new baby rookie. Filled with talent, the only downside we can think of is her being too young to get in the bars legally for our traditional Burlington offsite bar hopping. Fake ID. Anyone?

Laurence-Anne D.

Recently released from her 3 years duty up in Saguenay, L-A. is the third one from the infamous ATM school to join the clan. There is only one word to describe her attitude, potential and dance moves : Exceptional!

Alex D.

Straight outta Paris, Alex is ''zee'' new magician in town. Aside from his wizardry, he brings talent and expertise to the crew. Pouf! Magic!

Janick R.

Janick- a.k.a. Golden Lady has a perfect record at winning the art contests she enters - even when she doesn’t apply herself for the competition!! If she weren’t so sweet and humble, she’d probably run the city with her gold-headed Cane and oversize crown.

Felipe D.

Felipe is our brother from another city. He’s been a Coup de Coeur at the studio since our first collaboration, and we can’t wait to have the opportunity to drink a beer with him in person. A wild rumor at the office says he’s taller than Ben, I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Maude B.

Maude is the first and proud representative of the NAD school (new era) to join Gimmick. Of course, Ben would argue otherwise (as he graduated from there also, but in a different era), but frankly, Maude is the NAD queen in our hearts. Aside from her deep hunger for learning, Maude holds the international title (ex aequo with LA) for the best watersport skills of the studio.
