Who is HLH Designs?

At HLH Designs, we’re in the business of turning dreams into murals.

We use color, movement, and big ideas to bring walls to life, whether that’s lighting up a neighborhood with bold expression or helping a business show off what makes them one of a kind. Murals aren’t just something nice to look at, they’re a vibe, a story, and a way to connect with people without saying a word.

Our mission? Help you create something real. Something that speaks your language, not just ours. A lot of artists get caught up in doing work that only fits their own style. That’s cool, but that’s not what we’re about. We take the time to learn about your brand, your goals, and the community you’re part of. Then we bring it all together through color, energy, and storytelling.

We’re hands-on from the jump. Sketching, planning, painting, and making sure the final piece is something you’ll be proud of every time you see it. Big or small, business or block party, we’ve got the tools and the vision to make it happen.

If you’ve got a wall, a dream, and a vibe you want to share, let’s paint it.

Meet your artist Fernando Alvarez, Founder

Originally from Kenosha and now based in Milwaukee, Fernando began his career in the tech industry as a full-stack developer, always seeking ways to keep his creative spirit alive. At HLH Designs, he’s recognized for his vibrant, colorful work that turns everyday spaces into bold visual experiences. Driven by a deep appreciation for animals and the natural world, he’s passionate about bringing nature’s beauty into the heart of the city through his art. For Fernando, it’s never just work, it’s fun, fulfilling, and a chance to give his best with every project. When he's not painting, you’ll likely find him outdoors, recharging and gathering inspiration to bring back to the communities he serves.

A multifaceted artist, illustrator, and muralist enters another year of artistic exploration. My recent artistic endeavors are a fusion of boundless imagination, dynamic movement, and a vibrant spectrum of colors.

I specialize in crafting visually compelling illustrations that transport viewers into fantastical worlds where reality and imagination dance harmoniously.

A notable aspect of my recent portfolio includes paintings featuring athletes, where I strive to capture the energy, strength, and dedication of these inspiring individuals. I look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of creativity and share my passion for storytelling through visual art.
