Sights and strolling around Montreal’s Cité Multimédia
Yusef Frasier is the founder of architectural visualization and multimedia design studio Supergraphiq. These days, all the elements of his creative life come together at his light-drenched desk in the southwest Toronto townhouse he shares with architect Kristy Almond Frasier and their two children. Yusef and daughter Naomie (aged 8) brightened up the shared workspace during this year’s extended school closures with a “wall of happiness”— an ever growing mural of Naomie’s colourful drawings.

- Moleskine Notebook “I keep this beside my bed at night so when I wake up in the morning and have ideas and notes, I can start doing sketches and drawings related to my story. I always have to know where it is.”
