Francesca Bautista

Art Director

Francesca draws inspiration from her adopted city of Paris, where the Louvre, the Pompidou, and the big swirlie chandeliers and the macarons at La Duree add fuel to her creative fire. When she’s not designing a web site, corporate identity or national print campaign, Francesca can be found laying down fresh beats, hunting down 70s and 80s disco records in the bins of a vide-grenier or DJing a dance party.

As art director of Sweet, Francesca created a leading lesbian brand that embodies the liveliness, dynamism and sensibilities of the lesbian community. As the Art Director & Senior Designer at Barking Dog Creative, Francesca worked with a diverse array of clients, like Bay Area Sound Studios, CMW Architects, Cypress Wealth Advisors, DiRosa Preserve, The Japan Society of Northern California, Live Oak Estates, Greenman Technologies, The San Francisco Antique District, Sushi Ran, Timothy Berry and Terri Jaffe. Prior to Barking Dog, Francesca was a designer at PlanetOut, Inc., and Olivia.

A graduate of the esteemed CCA, Francesca loves designing her own party flyers and mix packaging, in addition to traveling the world with her sexy French girlfriend.
