about me.

Through digital illustration and design, he creates moments where vibrant patterns meet bold characters, all infused with a deep love for language and storytelling.
For Mezzy, art is the spark of joy, he often calls art "the sprinkles on the ice cream of life". This philosophy is the heart of his brand, By Mezzy. He creates to connect, using his work as a catalyst for community and a mirror for those searching for their own reflection in art.
