Our story

Ever since we were kids, we both shared a common dream. The dream to one day establish our own company together. The “seed” of this dream was sowed with a lemon stand the two of us set up over twenty years ago in Europe.   

For our B.A. degrees, we decided to explore the creative dimensions of our personality by studying at the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema (MHSC) in Montréal. At MHSC, we had the opportunity to put together our own short film productions, while simultaneously studying fine arts, design, and various styles of animation (both traditional and digital). 

After we completed our studies, we both went on to work in Montréal’s booming VFX industry. But, after a number of years in the industry, we both realized that the overall corporate structure of the VFX industry, didn’t really give us the space we needed to make full use of our creative and entrepreneurial inclinations.

 We wanted something more for ourselves. Something that would take full advantage of our diverse pool of collective talents and abilities, and also allow us to give something meaningful back to the world.

And that’s how our company Lemon Seed Media was born!

The goal of Lemon Seed Media is to provide small to medium sized businesses and companies with the right “visual tools” they need to succeed in today’s competitive visual marketplace . Not everyone has time to learn the intricate details of colour theory, or the basics of what makes an image stand out and attract customers.

And that’s where we come in. With over 20 years of combined experience in the field of visual arts, graphic design, and animation, we know what your business or company needs to stand out in today’s crowded visual marketplace. 

We closely work with our clients, through multiple open channels of communication, to ensure that their marketing concepts and ideas can reach their full creative potential. 

At Lemon Seed Media we’ve created a vibrant and exciting environment that’s easy and fun for you to work with!

Our Studio

Since our childhood, we’ve shared a common dream – the dream of one day establishing our own company together. The ‘seed’ of this dream was planted over twenty years ago in Europe when we set up our first lemonade stand as children. Later on, as adults, we decided to explore the creative dimensions of our personalities by pursuing B.A. degrees at the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema (MHSC) in Montréal. At MHSC, we had the opportunity to create our own short film productions while studying fine arts, design, and various styles of animation, both traditional and digital.

After completing our studies, we both embarked on careers in Montréal’s thriving VFX industry. However, after several years in the field, we realized that the corporate structure of the VFX industry didn’t allow us to fully express our creative and entrepreneurial inclinations. We wanted something more for ourselves, something that would harness our diverse talents and abilities and enable us to contribute meaningfully to the world. That’s how Lemon Seed Media was born!

Lemon Seed Media’s mission is to equip medium to large-sized businesses and companies with the right ‘visual tools’ to thrive in today’s competitive marketplace.

With over 20 years of combined experience in visual arts, graphic design, and animation, we not only possess the expertise necessary to help your business or company truly stand out in today’s competitive visual marketplace, but we’re also confident in our ability to infuse your products with a captivating creative spark.
