[diego salvador]

A creator at heart, I came into the world to build, imagine and bring new ideas.

After a stint in creative agencies in Montreal, I took a spontaneous turn: nature, the sea air and the open horizons of the Gaspé attracted me.

Since 2021, with my suitcase full of inspiration and a mind overflowing with projects, I am proud to lead the creative department of Brûlerie du Quai. Here, I invest myself in creating the soul of our company.

“seize the present, create for the future and live every moment to the fullest.”

what drives me

favorite hobbies + activities
music
hobby

music

Without music, life loses its sparkle. As an inveterate music lover, I am always in need of melodies that resonate. As a budding DJ, I mix musical genres creating harmonies as tasty as a perfectly spiced stir-fry.
skate
activity

skate

For me, the board is more than just a means of transportation, but rather a medium where art and expression merge with sport. Being far from being a pro, I like to simply glide on the road and let myself be caressed by the wind.
photography
hobby

photography

Because inspiration is often hidden within sight. Photography allows me to capture the fleeting moment and transform it into eternity.

to take a walk

Give me my backpack, my bottle of water and some snacks, and I'm off! Meet me anywhere; forest, beach, mountain, museum or city.

kalita

Take the time to take the time. With the Kalita Wave, making my coffee in the morning is a session of relaxation and delicate attention. The result is a vibrant elixir of sweet aromas hidden in each of the coffee beans.

aeropress

Practical, portable and versatile, I love the Aeropress for its simplicity and flexibility. No matter where I go, it easily accompanies me. With its multiple extraction methods, it offers a fun way to explore different ways of enjoying coffee.
