Jackalope in Garden. Cyanotype Stop-Motion Animation.

My work isn’t just visually compelling; it’s strategic communication. I'm not just making things look beautiful or polished. I am actively translating complexity into clear ideas that move people. The real story is: I'm a systems-level thinker who uses design to provoke, persuade, and build public trust.

About Mere

(prn. m-air)

I’m an art director and multidisciplinary designer who believes the best work happens when I’m not just making things for you, but building them with you. I’ve spent the better part of a decade creating brand identities, websites, and visual design systems that actually do something. That means I am your partner when it comes to clarifying a story, rallying a community, or helping good people make a sustainable impact. I’ve created for and worked with agencies, in-house teams, startups, grassroots nonprofits, global foundations, and lived that freelance life, which means I know how to read a room, ask the right questions, and get scrappy when the timeline demands it.


I don’t approach design like a vending machine (“insert brief, receive logo”). I am a thought partner, the kind who cares about your goals, flags what isn’t working, and helps you make smart, confident decisions without the ego circus. My expertise lies at the intersection of strategy, historical context, and gut feeling: clear systems, intentional visuals, and storytelling that resonates with real people. If you’re looking for a designer who’s invested, collaborative, and not afraid to say “we can do better than that,” I’m your guy.
