About William Bill Sommer

Hi, I\'m Bill!My hope is to bring a wealth of experience and expertise to any creative team, and I\'m passionate about helping businesses succeed in their missions by helping them run more effectively. I have always been inspired by visual art and design, and highly motivated by creative problem-solving. My primary goal is to oversee and guide the creative aspects of projects, ensuring that they align with the vision, goals, and brand identity of any organization I\'m working with. I often work autonomously, but am also passionate about connecting with people. I love the creative process, but I am also data-driven with my work.My background in a wide array of industries, coupled with my skills in design, branding, and art, allows me to provide valuable insights and direction for creative projects. I value collaboration, a strategic vision, and adaptability when navigating an overall workflow. I thrive in fast-paced environments.7-time recipient of American In-House Design Awards from Graphic Design USA. Categories include logo and print design.
