MEET THE FACE BEHIND THE PIXELS

MASON MERRILL

Oh hey there, I’m Mason, the founder, designer, and fumbling social media manager behind everything that comes out of Austin Unicorn Club Design.

I’ve been working as a graphic designer for over 10 years now, mostly self-taught - racking up plenty of accredited college hours along the way - but graduating from the University of YouTube and the School of DIY have provided me my 10,000 hours of practice and polish. What started as t-shirt graphics has evolved into building brands and crafting custom logos for small businesses here in Austin, TX. Each step along the way showed me that design isn’t just decoration - it’s how people’s hard work and good ideas get seen, remembered, and taken seriously.

The principles guiding my design practice rotate around clarity, originality, and a final outcome that represents the client’s deliverables with care and precision. Whether it’s branding, packaging, or apparel, I aim to create work that helps people, businesses and organizations turn their ideas into clear, recognizable visual identities that work across every medium - from digital and social media to print, packaging, apparel, environmental wayfaring, and beyond. Whether it’s a custom logo, a full brand system, or a set of merch graphics, my design should help you show up looking as good as you know you and your services/products are.
