Raphael was born in France but moved (or rather, was moved) to Colorado when he was a few months old. He attended K-12 in Colorado Springs before pursuing a BA in History at University of Colorado Denver. After completing his BA in 2021, Raphael left for Paris to pursue Columbia University’s MA in History and Literature. His thesis investigates world-building and Orientalism in Franco-Belgian graphic novels (bandes dessinées) and is currently under review. In his free time, Raphael enjoys collecting hobbies. Lately, he’s been playing drums, riding bikes, and juggling—though not all at the same time quite yet.
