Hello

I'm Lama Zouein. I earned my degree in Art Direction and Web Design from Beaux-Arts in Beirut and later pursued a master's degree in Industrial Design in Florence. My lifelong passion for food led me to Institut Paul Bocuse in Lyon, France, where I completed another master's degree in 2018.

Since then, I've transitioned from the epicenter of gastronomy in Lyon to the vibrant city of Paris. Here, I've been working as a versatile consultant, specializing in food styling, art direction, and design for both startups and established companies. My work has taken me across France, Switzerland, Lebanon, London, and Amsterdam, providing a wide range of services from food styling to restaurant concept creation and food-related branding.

With over a decade of experience as a multidisciplinary designer, I've managed diverse projects as a freelance professional, whether they be short-term or long-term endeavors. My focus on the culinary industry has honed my skills in optimizing client relationships, crafting tailor-made brand identities, and offering strategic insights across all project aspects. I thrive both in dynamic team environments and as an independent worker, driven by my passion to contribute to your company's success while continually developing my skill set.

At the moment, I am also an assistant teacher, alongside Ron Swidler, at Institut Paul Bocuse -  where I mentor students to develop their presentation skills, and effectively sell their ideas and concepts.

If you'd like to connect and chat, please don't hesitate to drop me a line!
