He did the projection designs in Iiris, Sombrero and Octopus. Recently, he designed movies and projections for the French director Hedi Tillette de Clermont Tonnerre and for The Consul a Gian Carlo Menotti Opera which played in Paris. In 2011, he worked as a projection designer for Cirque du Soleil's IRIS in Los Angeles. PARAMOUR will mark his second time collaborating in the creation of a Cirque du Soleil show.
