Meet Mery
Hi! It’s me—Mery. How nice of you to join me. You’re probably on this page because you want to learn who I am, what this is, and what you’re doing here. Sometimes I wonder the same, but I’ll do my best to explain.
I was born in Bulgaria in the late 20th century, spent a good chunk of my life in Las Vegas, then made my way to Los Angeles before settling in San Diego. Over the past decade, I’ve worked in marketing, creative, and events, helping brands find their voice and bring ideas to life. After years of building for others, and a few too many corporate plot twists, Offbeat Xchange was born.
For years, I kept notes of all the unfiltered things that came out of my mouth that turned into inside jokes. Those sayings ended up on the shirts you see in the store. Read more about the brand here.
Somewhere between career shifts and creative bursts, I decided to grow Offbeat Xchange into a space for curating a beautiful, intentional life—one that’s designed, explored, and experienced on your own terms. People say to pick a niche and stick to it. My niche is life. Also, who makes up all these rules? I was tired of being bound to the rules of corporate branding, and Offbeat Xchange became my way of rewriting them.
I love living life and curating all the little details that make it feel special. My endless curiosity often spirals into a 500-tab deep dive, but I do the researching so you don’t have to. Offbeat Xchange is where all those tabs, ideas, and inspirations come together.
Thank you for being here! :)

Life is like one never-ending gallery. We are all complex pieces of art on display constantly exposing ourselves as people walk in and out. Some stay to enjoy you and analyze the deeper meaning behind what they see on a surface level; others merely bat an eye in your direction. There is simply not enough capacity for one human to love and understand everything and everyone so don't fret when they don't get your essence.
