Graphic Designer

About Me

Hey whatsup.

Hello!

Meet Danny Mecler, the creative force behind captivating designs and unforgettable improv performances. It all started back in high school when I fell head over heels for an introductory Photoshop class. The class was so much fun and exciting, a few friends and I asked if there was more to learn. We ended up making two more Advanced Graphic Design classes between two high schools. From there, I began creating homemade skateboard graphics for tech deck toys, igniting a passion for design that continues today.

After earning a degree in Digital Prepress from the College of DuPage, I embarked on a journey as the sole designer at a local AlphaGraphics printshop. Here, I transformed customer ideas into tangible realities; whether it's sleek stationery, dynamic branding, or eye-catching tradeshow materials. From there, I worked prepress at a paperboard packing company, a Jr Art Director at a custom promo product company, a social media and print designer for a chicago landlord company, and a designer for a consumer fire alarm company. With a knack for typography and layout, I consider myself a master of the Adobe trifecta: InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. I can effortlessly adapt to any design style, thanks to my diverse range of clients.

But my talents extend beyond the design studio. As a member of the improv teams Boink and Squatchin, I bring laughs and creativity to the stage of Westside Improv in Wheaton, Illinois. And when Iā€™m not crafting designs or cracking jokes, you can find me lost in the world of guitar and effects pedals with his band Retina Sky. Sharing a home in Bartlett with my equally-passionate designer wife, Missy, and our trio of adorable cats (ask for pictures). Together, they inspire and uplift each other, forming a dynamic duo dedicated to pushing creative boundaries and making a lasting impact in design.
