Erica Simone is a Franco-American art director, photographer, and branding creative working between Paris and the United States. Her work lives at the intersection of visual culture, identity, and strategy—where bold aesthetics meet commercial impact.

A Summa Cum Laude graduate of New York City’s Fashion Institute of Technology (BFA, Advertising & Marketing Communications), Erica founded ES Creative Agency in 2010. Since then, she has built and evolved brands for an international client base spanning global icons—including Madonna—to forward-thinking startups.

As a photographer, Simone is best known for her intimate, award-winning self-portraiture. Her work has been published internationally in National Geographic, New York Magazine, Marie Claire, ELLE, PHOTO, and more. In 2017, she released her first art book, Nue York: Self-Portraits of a Bare Urban Citizen, earning worldwide critical acclaim.

Blending entrepreneurial instinct with a lifelong devotion to graphic art and visual storytelling, Erica brings a rare dual perspective to branding—one that understands both cultural relevance and commercial success. She helps brands stand apart, speak clearly, and exist beautifully in competitive, image-driven markets.
