Born to a French Canadian father and a German mother, Elisabeth & Jessica grew up on CFB Uplands military base in Ottawa before moving to Montreal in 1993. They’ve both completed a graphic design program at Ahuntsic College, continued their studies in the same field and got a bachelor's degree from the University of Québec in Montréal in 2007-2008.
A very special relationship started in 2006 with one of their teachers, Angela Grauerholz. It began in Jessica’s third year of university when she assisted in her photography class and has been flourishing ever since. Jessica and Elisabeth now both work closely with Angela on different personal and work related projects. In most recent news, they’ve been developing, under Angela’s supervision, the new educational program at the Centre Design de L’UQAM.
Jessica is currently finishing a Specialized Diploma in Event design at UQAM while Elisabeth juggles extra classes and her new role as a freelancer. They both have plans to pursue further studies in photography, but in the meantime, they run TagTeam Studio from their NDG home where they both live with their beloved dog Roxie.
