About Laura Sottile

I’m not just an art director/lead designer. With 30+ years of extensive experience in advertising, design, and marketing, I have a passion for art and creativity that has endured since I received my first set of oil pastels when I was six. As a strategic brand builder and an empathetic design thinker, I work closely with my clients to understand their needs and objectives. I’m always striving to push the vision forward while simultaneously leveling it up to stand out and engage. I have a wide range of skills including: UX/UI design, print and production, illustration, and photography. With proven leadership and problemsolving skills, I’m a fast-learning and committed professional with the ability to think strategically and collaborate to create high impact solutions. When I’m not designing, I’m usually cheering onmy favorite F1 and NFL teams, spoiling our dogs, or traveling with my family.
