In 2014, the Montreal Comiccon and the Costumer Guild awarded her the Master title accomplishment for best use of unusual materials at the Masquerade, and her Samouraï armor was a finalist at the World of WearableArt award show (Weta Workshop, New-Zealand). She received the Thompson Family Award for a Design Field School, Make in Japan (Concordia, 2019).Larivière’s formal academic experience includes a Fashion Design diploma from Lasalle College, an Electrician diploma from CIMME, and a BFA in Computation Arts at Concordia University (in progress).

I like
Customizing Everything
I believe that my artist statement should go there. (meta)It's my maker's manifesto beyond diy and self-actualization. (meta) Making is my way of communication; it's my trade.
