I had the privilege of managing Alex for many years. His ability to produce large volumes of high-quality design is just remarkable. He is able to quickly interpret business inputs and deliver quality results-oriented marketing. Alex not only has experience in web design and email but also CMS (content management systems) and UX concepts.

His breath of skills allows him to deliver fresh and well conceived designs - regardless of medium. He has a great attitude and shares his knowledge and encouragement with the team around him. No task is too big or too small.  I would definitely work with him again and have him on my team since I know I can rely on him to get the job done.

Alex has a great attitude and even better work ethic. In having the privilege of working along side him for over 7 years, he has demonstrated a vast array of experience ranging from email marketing design to logos and branding.

His passion for design is clearly seen through his personal as well as professional work. Great co-workers are truly one of the biggest contributing factors to enjoying your work, and working with Alex makes that part of the job easy!

I had the pleasure of working with Alex during our time at Zappos. We collaborated on quite a few projects focusing on our commitment to supporting disability inclusion in the footwear industry. Zappos was a sponsor of the Special Olympics USA Games in 2022. This was one of the largest, inclusive multifaceted partnerships that Zappos participated in as a sponsor. We were fortunate to have him as an integral part of the creative strategy.

He is passionate, creative and thoughtful in all of the work that he is involved in. He keeps our customers at the forefront of everything that he creates, to ensure that they have the best customer experience. He is an absolute pleasure to work with.

I had the privilege of working with Alex on a few projects, most of which tied to design for various elements of our Running experience at Zappos. In an environment with so many competing priorities to triage, Alex’s self sufficiency became invaluable because he always got things done quickly (and right) the first time. He brings positive, collaborative energy to every room he’s in, which makes him great to ideate with, and he always knows how to make a good idea better.

And as if that weren’t enough, he was always just a pleasure to be around and always was willing to give more to people than he ever asked. I’m certain he’ll bring instant value to the work and the culture wherever he goes!

Alex brings impact to interaction.

Whether in client work or mentoring, Alex Mera brings years of wisdom and expertise to his projects and speaking engagements. I have personally invited him to speak in my Interaction and Web design courses for the last seven consecutive years. He has spoken to over 150 of my students at research universities without asking anything in return. His support has resonated with students from across the country and has a fundamental impact on their careers.

Working with Alex at Zappos was both a creative adventure and a genuine pleasure. His unique vision transforms ordinary briefs into extraordinary designs - always with an unexpected twist that makes you think 'wow, I would've never thought of that!'
Beyond his exceptional talent as a Senior Designer and Art Director, Alex brings contagious energy and joy to every project.

He's that rare creative who can push boundaries while keeping the team smiling and engaged. If you're looking for someone who'll elevate your design work while making the process genuinely fun, Alex is your person.
