Through several classes, teachers, and competitions, she came to graduate from Loyola University in New Orleans with a degree in Advertising, a minor in Graphic Art, and a focus on print design. Graduate studies in Houston later included classes in figure drawing and creative digital media. Her MFA is in Graphic Arts, and it’s from LSU in Baton Rouge.

Yvette is responsible for a comedy series called the Scary Little Bunnies which can be seen at scarylittlebunnies.com and on everyone’s favorite, Instagram.
