About

Hello.

I'm Ethan, a graphic designer that has been working as an in-house designer for about 10 years (2016-2026).

I also had a brief 2-and-a-bit year stint as the Graphic Design Coordinator at Pride Winnipeg in (2015-2017ish).

And once again, because I feel like I can never stress it enough, everything seen in this portfolio was created by me without "assistance" from AI*.
