I’m Jonathan Gagné.
Founder & CEO of
Masterpiece X

I’m on a lifelong mission to make it effortless to transform you imagination into vibrant 3D experiences using AI

As CEO of Masterpiece X, I am driven to bring this creative AI mission alive. This journey began in the mid-1990s, building 3D graphics engines followed by developing neural networks in the early 2000s. As a university medalist, I graduated at the top of a class of 6,000 and earned the highest national graduate research award for his work in AI cognitive modeling and AI creativity in the late 2000s.

With over 24 awards in business and technology, I has spent the last decade leading a talented team at the forefront of 3D modeling, creativity, and AI, making 3D creation accessible to everyone.
