Jean Olivier Esther Fontain

Founder of TRIPLE AAA
Expert in Concept Design, Creative Strategy & Visual Innovation, and Design Strategy

My name is Jean Olivier Esther Fontain, and I am the founder of TRIPLE AAA. I hold Master of Arts in Design from the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (Canada) and bring over 20 years of international experience in the fields of concept design, creative strategy, visual innovation, and design thinking.

Throughout my career, I have worked across Canada, France, and Réunion Island, developing a global perspective and a deep understanding of multicultural creative environments. Since 2020, I’ve been based on Réunion Island, where I continue to apply my experience to shape future-oriented, inclusive design education.

I am fluent in French and English and passionate about building learning spaces that are collaborative, innovative, and accessible. Through TRIPLE AAA, my mission is to empower the next generation of creative thinkers to grow, connect, and thrive in the evolving world of concept design.
