Ethan Hicks
Junior Designer
Ethan produces digital and print based assets at FTP while providing visual guidance firmwide.
Ethan Hicks is a junior visual designer on FTP’s creative team, where he helps bring complex public affairs campaigns to life through thoughtful, modern creative. He builds cohesive visual systems across social, web, and paid media, combining a strong eye for typography, color, and layout with a practical understanding of how design performs in fast-paced advocacy and communications environments.
At FTP, Ethan has steadily expanded his role from executional production work to contributing to end-to-end creative concepts, collaborating closely with strategists and account teams to translate policy goals into clear, engaging visuals. He is especially passionate about pushing design trends forward in ways that feel accessible and strategic — testing new formats, motion, and visual languages that still support client objectives.
Before joining FTP, Ethan refined his craft by producing digital ads and branding campaigns for several advertising and press agencies in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, deepening his experience with cross-channel storytelling and brand consistency. Outside of work, he channels his creativity into writing music, exploring the city on foot, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
