The Creatives

Karl Hébert / Art Director & Designer

Karl settled on a career path a little late in life – at the age of 12. He set his sights on a graphic design career while taking a 7th grade Future Careers class and since then he’s been right on track. Karl graduated from Texas State University at the top of his class with a degree in Communication Design, focusing heavily on illustration and identity design.

After working for a few years in Austin, Karl decided he hadn’t quite seen enough of the world, so he and his wife moved to France for a year where he harnessed the power of the internet, and telecommuted to Austin daily.

Karl has worked for clients such as The Lance Armstrong Foundation, HEB and the San Antonio Spurs. His work has been recognized by Print Magazine, Rockport Publishing’s LogoLounge 5 & 6 and The Art Directors Club of Houston.
