Hi! My name is Etienne. I am a Fench-American artist & designer from New Orleans, LA, currently based in NYC.
I studied Graphic Design at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) – a big art program in the US’s smallest state. I have worked in the non-profit, museum, and advertising sectors, where I’ve honed skills in artistic direction, design production, and project management.
In my personal work, I see graphic design as a powerful tool for challenging and reimagining how we document our experience of the world. My goal is to elevate and celebrate everyday life, while encouraging others to do the same.
