graphique inc.
Building on an initial 10 years experience in primarily the cosmetics business, Catherine Goulet left the corporate world to start Graphique Inc. a design firm offering a wide range of creative services to companies in the cosmetics and luxury brand markets. While working in New York City as an art director for one of the world’s largest cosmetic companies, management flatly refused her a computer saying “You don’t need a computer because you work in the art department!” Therefore, in order to accommodate her far-reaching vision, talent and determination Graphique was born in 1989.
The principles, who are also the creators of the work, bring a wide range of design and management experience to Graphique and a measure of their success is the loyalty and respect of long-term client relationships. Before teaming up at Graphique, Catherine Goulet and Berett Fisher worked together in the cosmetic industry gaining prestigious reputations in design, art direction and corporate management. They believe great design requires passion, discipline, a personal commitment to the client, and draw from a broad base of experience to produce and execute effective creative solutions. The Graphique portfolio, which spans three decades and a range of industries includes; cosmetic/beauty, luxury goods, specialty retailers, fashion, food and other services.
