Deschamps began learning to skate in 1997.[1] He placed 6th in novice pairs with Alysson Dugas at the 2010 Canadian Championships, 10th in junior pairs with Catherine Baldé at the 2011 Canadian Championships, and 7th in junior pairs with Naomie Boudreau at the 2013 Canadian Championships.
In 2013, Deschamps teamed up with Vanessa Grenier. The two became the 2014 Canadian junior champions.[2] Making their Grand Prix debut, they placed 6th at the 2014 Skate America.[3] The pair finished 7th at the 2015 Skate Canada International and 8th at the 2016 Four Continents Championships. They were coached by Richard Gauthier and Bruno Marcotte in Montreal, Quebec.[1] Grenier and Deschamps split up in May 2016.[4]
In 2016, Deschamps teamed up with Sydney Kolodziej from the United States. The pair finished 6th at the 2017 Canadian Championships, having ranked 6th in the short program and 4th in the free skate.
Coached by Richard Gauthier, Bruno Marcotte, and Sylvie Fullum in Saint-Leonard, Quebec, Kolodziej/Deschamps made their international debut as a pair in September, at the 2017 CS U.S. Classic, where they placed 7th. Skate Canada also selected the pair to compete at a Grand Prix event, the 2017 Skate Canada International. They finished 8th at their Grand Prix assignment and then 7th at the 2018 Canadian Championships. They were named in Canada's team to the 2018 Four Continents Championships in Taipei and finished 9th after placing 8th in the short program and 9th in the free skate.
Deschamps announced a new partnership with American skater Deanna Stellato in 2019. After securing her release from the USFS, they debuted internationally at the 2021 CS Autumn Classic International, placing fourth.[5] They won the bronze medal at the 2022 Canadian Championships.[6] Stellato/Deschamps went on to finish fourth at the 2022 Four Continents Championships.[7]
Stellato/Deschamps began the 2022–23 season with a gold medal at the 2022 CS Nebelhorn Trophy.[8] The team was then invited to make their Grand Prix debut at the 2022 Skate America, and won the silver medal, only 3.5 points behind gold medalists Knierim/Frazier. This was the first Grand Prix medal for both skaters.[9]
