Founded by Erik Kiesewetter in 2005, constance is a New Orleans-based creative practice, focusing primarily on collaborations with artists, writers, publishers, architects, small businesses, and cultural institutions—with output ranging from printed matter, such as books and ephemera, to identities and digital design.

Additionally, we offer full-service Risograph printing and production at our studio.
