About

I’m Dan Sommers, a graphic designer focused on visual identity—bringing brands to life through clear, distinctive systems and thoughtful design across print and digital. I’ve built a career around creating logos and brand identities, producing printed publications, and supporting teams and clients from early strategy through to practical design outputs.

From freelance work at Dan Sommers Studio to senior and lead roles in agencies and community settings, I enjoy the hands-on, client-facing side of design—whether that’s shaping tone of voice, running brand sprints, developing UX/UI work, or building a brand presence that can scale across social, digital, and events.
