Studio Fratesco is led by Alexander Norton, a graphic designer who has collaborated with Catholic institutions, publishers, apostolates, and religious orders across the United States and Italy. His years living and working in Florence left a lasting mark on his practice — its artistic, cultural, and religious heritage continues to shape an approach built on reinterpreting traditional and historical visual language for contemporary use.

At the center of each project is a close study of historical and traditional design — typographic forms, ornament, and symbolism drawn from centuries of religious and classical art — rebuilt for the mediums of contemporary graphic, web, and editorial design.
