About Me

The person
behind the
work.

I'm Alex Mercer — a multidisciplinary creative based remotely. I started as a developer, fell in love with design, and discovered that marketing is what truly closes the loop.

Today I help startups, scaleups, and forward-thinking brands build products their users love — from the first wireframe to launch day and beyond.

My Approach

Great digital products sit at the intersection of beautiful design, solid engineering, and smart growth strategy. I don't believe in handoffs — I believe in ownership. When I work on your project, I think about all three layers simultaneously.

When I'm Not Working

You'll find me hiking mountain trails, experimenting with sourdough, or deep in a documentary about design history. I believe that a rich life outside work produces better work inside it.
