Etsy Art Direction
In order to capture the diverse community of buyers and sellers that make Etsy, we frequently partner with illustrators to bring concepts both direct and abstract to life. From moments like Black History Month, International Women’s Day, Pride Month, Back to School, Halloween, and the Holiday season, to representing categories like Home+Living, marketing strategies, tax returns, and self-care, these campaigns are as eclectic as the touchpoints they’re used across, giving a voice to the millions of buyers and sellers on the platform.
