Doucet was born in Houston, Texas to an artist mother and an iron-worker father. He grew up in the city of Terrell, Texas. He is perhaps the only notable designer of Cajun descent. In 1999, Doucet completed his studies at Art Center College of Design in the field of Communication Design.
Doucet began his career in advertising working primarily as a graphic designer for which we received numerous awards. Later, expressing a dissatisfaction with the ephemeral nature of that work[1] he began his evolution into a multi-faceted designer.[2] His portfolio therefore encompasses furniture, consumer electronics, corporate identity, jewelry, fashion, technology, children’s toys, photography and architecture, delivering innovation across a variety of industries.
Doucet has worked with clients as diverse as Moët & Chandon, Braun,[3] Target, Armani, Coty, P&G, Disney, Playboy and Missoni. His commercial work is matched by his desire to develop innovations that quite simply make life better, an example of which is his design for the Airate Wind turbine[4] for which he was nominate for a 2010 World Technology Award.
His work has been featured in countless publications and extensively exhibited internationally. He is widely regarded as leading the next great wave of American design.[5]
