Romain Williams
Editor-in- Chief & Head of Narrative Strategy
Hello there! I’m Romain, the strategist and storyteller behind Beyond Data™—a storytelling lab and digital magazine reimagining how we see data, culture, and change. My work lives where research meets imagination, helping transform evidence and lived experience into narratives that move people and shift systems.
Bridging Story and System: At Beyond Data™, I lead the creative and narrative direction, guiding how complex ideas—about business, technology, communications, and social change—come to life through stories that are both rigorous and relatable. Our platform brings together analysts, artists, and everyday changemakers to explore how data can tell human stories.
Strategic Storytelling: Drawing from my background in policy, design, and communication, I craft frameworks that connect insight to impact. Whether through multimedia storytelling, editorial series, or community features, my goal is to turn information into imagination—making knowledge accessible, emotional, and actionable.
Purpose Meets Practice: I believe data has a heartbeat. Through Beyond Data™, I’m working to prove that stories rooted in evidence can still inspire wonder—and that communities at the margins of data should be at the center of how we design our future.
