The designer behind Crisp Design

25 years designing for some of the world's biggest brands — now using those skills to help local Quebec businesses compete online.

Founder & Creative Director

Saher Azer

My design career started in Egypt in the late 1990s — working at colour separation studios where you learn to respect every dot of ink. From there I moved into advertising, working at three of the biggest agencies in Cairo, designing for global brands like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and McDonald's. The kind of work where every detail gets scrutinized because it ends up in front of millions of people.

In 2009 I moved to Canada and pivoted into digital marketing, then fully into UI/UX design in 2013 as apps and digital products became the main canvas. I spent years building products and brands for tech companies, startups, and media.

In 2020 I moved to Blainville with my family. And I noticed something: the local businesses here didn't have access to the same quality of design work that big-city companies take for granted. A contractor, a clinic, a restaurant — they'd end up with a template site that looked like everyone else's, built by someone who'd never set foot in the Laurentides.

That's why Crisp Design exists. To bring over two decades of real design experience — across print, advertising, digital, and product, on three continents — to businesses right here: Blainville, Laval, Mirabel, Saint-Jérôme, and across the region.

How I work

Direct communication

You talk to the person doing the work — not an account manager passing messages between you and a junior designer.

Results over aesthetics

Beautiful design that doesn't perform is decoration. Everything I build is designed to rank, load fast, and convert visitors into leads.

Bilingual by default

Every site I build for Quebec clients is fully bilingual EN/FR — not translated after the fact, but designed bilingual from the start.

Genuinely local

I live in Blainville. I know the Laurentides market. That's not a marketing line — it changes how I understand your clients and your competition.

AI-powered tools

From the AI chatbot Kris to the free website copy tool — I build AI into the work, not as a gimmick, but where it genuinely helps clients get more from their site.

Fast turnaround

Most projects ship in 2–4 weeks. No six-month agency timelines. You get a real site, live, fast — without sacrificing quality.
