One Lead. A Network of Experts.
You're not hiring a faceless agency. You're working directly with a PMP-certified principal who assembles the exact freelance team your project needs — no overhead, no bureaucracy, no runaround.
Meet Our Founding Partner & CVO
With PMP-certified project management credentials and over a decade of experience leading digital production across three continents, Syed founded Mercer & Mills to bridge the gap between freelance talent and enterprise-grade execution.
His philosophy is simple: clients don't need another agency — they need a reliable lead who can assemble the right team, enforce quality standards, and deliver on time. Every project at Mercer & Mills is personally overseen by Syed, ensuring PMP-level governance without the agency markup.
Beyond project governance, Syed is a practicing creative — a non-linear video editor, typography artist, graphic designer, composer, singer, recording artist, producer, filmmaker, and soundtrack composer. He personally leads the Visionary and Sonic Mills, bringing hands-on creative direction to every visual and audio deliverable the agency produces.
Based in Los Angeles, California. Operating globally.
