Oswald has always been a creative mind.
When he was little, he sewed his own superhero costumes because there weren’t any heroes he really liked—and while he eventually gave up sewing, he stayed a creative kid at heart.
 

After finishing high school with honors, he passed on a traditional university path to enroll in France’s “classe prépa,” a two-year intensive preparatory course designed to earn a place at one of the nation’s top schools—the most elitist track a student can take in France.
 

Two years later, with multiple offers on the table, he surprised his parents by choosing not to enroll anywhere and trying something he’d always wanted: stand-up comedy. It became one of the best years of his life, but reality (and rent) called, so he enrolled in marketing school, still unsure where it might lead. That decision proved pivotal, eventually taking him to London to study at the renowned—now sadly closed—Watford ad course.
 

He earned his stripes at France’s top agency, Buzzman, before returning to London for stints at Mother and adam&eveDDB. He then moved to New York as a creative director at BBDO. Today, he’s a Creative Director at Tombras.
 

His work has been recognized at international award shows, and he recently served as a jury member for the prestigious D&AD Awards.
 

Oz loves French rap so much he makes it himself under the stage name alphabetnumber, and recently signed a record deal as a promising artist.
He also loves chairs. His top three TV shows are Black Mirror, Fargo, and Sherlock.
