Born and raised in Quebec, Rogé studied graphic design at Laval University. He began his career working as an art director for well-established advertising agencies. After a few years, he decided to take on a new challenge and volunteered for international cooperation projects. In the course of a three-month stay in the Dominican Republic, he painted large murals in a village and the experience gave him a new sense of direction. Upon his return, he settled in Montreal and decided to take on illustration on a full-time basis. His pictures have been seen in ad campaigns, posters, magazines, and many children’s picture books in both the US and Canada.
