Jacob Romero (b. 2003) is a Chicago-based American artist and designer whose graphite works meet at the intersection of metaphysics and jersey club remixes.

With a professional design practice, his work draws from everyday moments, treating domestic rituals as points of reflection. His drawings offer the viewer an answer to an unasked question.
