what I’m about
I’m Ethan, a graphic designer who’s been creating for as long as I can remember. I first got Adobe Photoshop when I was 10 years old because I wanted to make custom Madden NFL card designs. What started as just messing around turned into something I kept coming back to, and over time, it became a real passion.
​
Throughout high school, I kept building on that interest by working on projects like senior slideshows and helping design yearbooks. Those experiences taught me how to create for an audience, not just for myself—learning how to organize visuals, tell a story, and make something people actually connect with. It was also where I started realizing this was more than just a hobby.
Since then, I’ve continued to grow through hands-on experience, including working with Central Washington University’s athletics and marketing teams. Designing in that environment pushed me to work fast, think creatively under pressure, and produce content that grabs attention in real time. A lot of my work now is rooted in sports, culture, and bold visual ideas, but I’m always experimenting with new styles and directions.
Outside of structured work, I spend a lot of time creating custom vintage-style graphics and passion projects, constantly trying to evolve my style and push things further. I’m always looking for ways to make my work feel fresh, intentional, and different from everything else out there.
Graphic design isn’t something I just picked up—it’s something I’ve been building on for most of my life, and I’m still finding new ways to take it further.

Cascade Highschool (Leavenworth)
High school is where I found my creative voice. I spent three years on the yearbook staff, turning pages into something worth keeping — and took the senior slideshow from a simple photo reel to a full-on cinematic production. On the football field, I earned the Leadership Plaque my senior year, a reminder that great work — whether on a team or on a project — always comes down to showing up for the people around you.
