Portrait of Jimi, art director

About

JIMI

Art director · 360° creator

I turn an idea into a complete visual experience — from art direction to moving images.

Who I am

I’m Jean-Michel, “Jimi”, an art director and 360° creator based in Côte d’Ivoire. Art direction, photography, design, 3D, video, directing and content creation: I don’t just want to master one craft, I want to understand the whole process that turns an idea into an experience.

Trained in a design school, I have worked for brands such as City Sport, LEESE, Aconstant and 1XBET, from brief to delivery: concept, art direction, production, retouching. It taught me that creativity also means respecting an identity, deadlines, a budget and an audience.

Today, video and directing are at the heart of my work. I pursue a modern, premium and international African image: pictures crafted like cinema, for brands and for social media.

With THE ROCKET STUDIO, I also share what I learn: thinking an image, lighting, shooting, editing.
