Graphic Designers

Our CEO and Founder, Onyekachi “Mezzy” Akalonu, is a graphic designer and illustrator. What started as a dream in the summer of 2019 during his time at Howard University became a reality when the Vermont Arts Council awarded him a Creative Futures Grant in 2022. This launched a new chapter in our graphic design journey, allowing us to work with numerous clients in various industries. This grant also opened a new lane for By Mezzy, LLC - apparel design. With a special focus in brand design and illustration, By Mezzy, LLC prides itself on helping businesses tell their stories.
