I’m Alex Paulette Sommerville. Creative Director, Designer, and Educator located in Chicago, Illinois.
Formally trained in both graphic design and architecture, I strive to evoke the spatial and contextual, confronting the physicality of two-dimensional space and composition. Working across branding, photography and graphic installations, I seek out opportunities to partner with interdisciplinary teams on projects that add to the narrative of people and place.
