About the Artist

I’m a graphic designer, muralist, and artist based in the Adirondack Park in New York, and I hold a BFA in Graphic Design from SUNY Plattsburgh. My work spans painting and design, and I’m known for bold color palettes and pieces that highlight light and faith.

Beyond technical skill, I’m driven by my love for people, creativity, and storytelling. I pay close attention to detail, but I care even more about meaning. How a design feels, what it communicates, and how it connects with the person experiencing it. I aim to create work that feels honest, personal, and purposeful.

Founded in 2024, Duquette Designs is my creative studio focused on bold, intentional, and thoughtfully crafted design. I specialize in branding, print, and custom visual work that balances style with clarity. Every piece is made with purpose, attention to detail, and a deep respect for storytelling.
