Portrait of Alex Mera, Senior Visual Designer

This is the B-side...

I've been freelancing since day one — providing design and art direction for independent businesses and artists in punk, metal, and hardcore. This gallery also shows my passion projects.

Web, social, merch, branding, gig posters, illustration, hand-lettering work... anything and everything, for anyone who needs something bold and crafted with intention.
