About

Notice Bureau is Celia Marais and Tavish, two people working in direction, design, and photography out of New York and Montreal. We approach projects with strong, simple concepts and an original blend of graphic and filmed imagery. We can keep things clean and elegant, or make them messy and chaotic. We have directed designed and conceived music videos, installations, album covers, photo shoots, logotypes, websites, and more. We enjoy working with people in creative fields including art, music, and fashion. We're always looking out for interesting projects, so go ahead and contact us or join our friends list.

In 2002 she was awarded the CIAM grant for her video installation 'Why Was It So Hard to Let My Tamagotchi Die?'. She holds a degree in Communications & Multimedia from UQAM and a graduate certificate in Digital Technologies in Design and Art, from Concordia University. Celia's site is Thingsbyme.
