MIGUEL ANGEL

ALVARADO JR.

Art Director & Digital Designer

Hey there! Let me take a moment to share a bit about myself. I have a passion for collages, printmaking, car shows, videography, video games, and collecting vinyl records. My interests span a wide spectrum, and I’m all about embracing diverse hobbies.

I’m a California-born Mexican American who spent a good part of my life in San Antonio, Texas. Now, I might be biased, but I firmly believe In-N-Out beats Whataburger, though I won’t say no to a delicious mushroom Swiss burger or a sweet and spicy burger.

Food and music are two topics I can chat about endlessly, so let’s continue this conversation either in person or online. Looking forward to it!
