Stefan Romanu’s Summary

I’m a designer currently living and working in Timişoara, Romania.

I grew up in Austria. After finishing highschool, I studied Literature at the University of Viena for 2 years. During that time I started working as a copyrighter for a small company in Viena. Once that I decided literature was too boring for me, while being lazy on insights into the human condition, I dropped my literature courses, convinced my boss to let me work freelance and moved to Romania, where the cigarettes where cheaper and life more free.

There I started my design education at the Faculty of Arts in Timişoara. I graduated with a BA degree in Graphic Design.
After aquiring a number of direct clients, ranging from startup companies to some with revenue that exceeds 20 million Euro a year, I felt the limitations to the services that I could provide and decided to extend my education on a business level. As a consequence I enlisted in the Marketing strategies, visual communication and advertising Masters program, which I graduated summa cum laude in late spring 2008.

Currently I am running my own office in Timişoara.
I love my job.
