Sergio Luna

Sergio Luna is a web designer from Mexico who has been perfecting his art in Montréal for many years now. Over the course of his long career, he has created attractive and visually appealing websites for a vast array of clients.

The graphic design of this course was inspired by the drawings of Sandra Dumais—award-winning artist from Québec who illustrated the climigrant.org website. All other graphic elements are copyright free and were drawn from fr.vecteezy.com and www.flaticon.com. 

This course was translated (from French) by Karolina Roman, a doctoral candidate in Translation Studies at McGill University. Her research interests lie at the intersection of sociology, literary translation, and the digital humanities.
