About Romain

A graduate of Estienne and Gobelins schools, I began my career in advertising agencies and creative studios, working on campaigns for Coca-Cola, AXA, Gillette, M6, Yahoo!, Nescafé...

For over 15 years, I have specialized in art direction for publishing, video games, and cultural communication, on projects requiring a strong and coherent visual identity.

My approach combines graphic excellence, visual storytelling, and a deep understanding of production constraints. I am involved in both conceptualization and overall art direction, working closely with creative and marketing teams.

Accustomed to demanding environments and tight deadlines, I support teams looking for a senior art director who can be quickly operational and autonomous.
