Meet Our Design Illustrator: Olivier Charland
A monthly theme inspires new conversations and ideas that we otherwise wouldn’t think about. At our virtual events, speakers are invited to share a story around the theme and what it means to them. After a month, we are excited to see the talks and inspiration that are born out of the theme.
Given that these monthly illustrations are at events all around the world, it’s only right that we get to know the illustrator. It is a tradition at CreativeMornings to work with an artist in our community to create an illustration for the monthly theme.
CreativeMornings/Trois-Rivières chose October’s Design theme, and Olivier Charland created the accompanying illustration.
We’re excited to share some of our favorite artworks created by Olivier!
