Alejandro Mercado Email & Phone Number

Hello, my name is Alejandro Mercado. I am a Texas based user experience and visual designer from the San Antonio area. My work embodies the “less is more” mentality, whether it be through UI/UX work or designs made for social media branding. Many people will sacrifice functionality to be unique, whereas I choose to ensure whatever new ideas spring forth do not hinder the experience I want to create. This focus on functionality causes me to lean towards minimalistic designs with my individual flair without jeopardizing the overall experience. Through the display of efficiency in my work, I hope to inspire people to challenge designs of the past to improve lives in the modern day.I recently finished a Master's of Science in Marketing. I have a plethora of experience from in-class projects, personal, and professional projects in my field of interest. With a background in UI/UX Design from my undergraduate work, I am interested in exploring the overlap of marketing and user centered design.I would never have dreamed that messing around in Windows Movie Maker all those years ago would lead to a lifelong passion to create and learn new skills. Outside of my work, I enjoy getting outdoors and exercising. Nothing beats spending quality time with friends and family: whether enjoying a nice conversation or cooperating in a difficult video game session. I have a large interest in fashion and derive my style based on media I consumed growing up. There is always a new experience around the corner.At my current job, I am tasked with designing informational lessons and videos for clients that come to us. I am well-versed in the storyboarding, style iteration, and the creative process. Working in agile development is a cornerstone to my work and keeps my skills sharp. My design is focused on efficiency and demonstrating my point clearly to my audience. Keep it simple, understandable, and elegant.My other skills include:Adobe Suite: Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator, InDesignVideo Editing: Sony Vegas, CamtasiaProgramming Languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHPMicrosoft Suite: Word, Excel, PowerPoint
