In the late nineties, he moved to Vancouver where he cofounded clothing company, Blanc & Noir and more recently, men’s denim brand, Purple.
While looking for an architect to design a house, Jean-Claude was introduced to late architect, Peter Cardew. Over the course of the next fifteen years, he worked with Peter on multiple furniture and construction projects, including the award-winning LeBlanc House.
