Meet Sylvie, Founder and Project Manager. Besides her (overly) passionate love for chips, she’s a pro at handling Plan A, B, C, and can juggle words, schedules, and budgets like a true ninja. With over 15 years of experience managing local, national, and international projects within communication agencies and private companies, Sylvie excels at instilling confidence in her clients and collaborators, and steering projects of all kinds in advertising, design, marketing, and events to success. French or English? You choose. Thanks to 12 years spent in beautiful British Columbia, where she worked on planning and organizing the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, she’s got it all covered. And watch out for her dance moves and air guitar skills. Her zombie and seagull impressions are pretty spot-on too…

This is Etienne, Founder and Graphic Designer. His brain is always in design and ideation mode. He’s been navigating a mouse and keyboard shortcuts without a pause for over 25 years. As both an Art Director and Graphic Designer, Etienne has crafted brand visuals and integrated campaigns for all kinds of brands, both local and national. He honed his skills at various communication agencies in Montreal and Vancouver, and also had a successful freelance career for several years. He still dreams of going on tour with a rock & roll band, but he’ll never, ever stop being a graphic designer, all while enjoying dessert to the tune of country, indie, rock, metal, or pop music…

MOTEL is more than just 2 people.
It’s also a world
of great collaborators.

The MOTEL family is large, talented, and constantly evolving. We choose our collaborators based on the projects at hand. Why work with just one photographer who specializes in corporate portraits when a project requires showcasing elevators? You know! Photographers, videographers, illustrators, programmers, strategists, printers, writers, translators... our doors are always open to new collaborations because...

1) We love discovering new talents and building new connections.
2) Our top priority is to always deliver high-quality projects tailored to the needs of our wonderful clients

And we absolutely love our studio.
It’s filled with coffee and music.

Our creativity unfolds right in the heart of the Limoilou neighborhood in Quebec. With its minimalist Scandinavian-inspired white design and close to squirrels stuffing their faces with the seeds from our giant maples. And we do like things clean and orderly. No, we’re not OCD ;)

Our studio might be located in Quebec, but our clients are spread all over Quebec and Canada. We love road trips and traveling from up high. And video conferences aren’t too shabby either. So, we can help you no matter your postal code.

Ring the bell and let's chat!
