Greg is a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, and Men's Apparel designer for Heroes & Villains. Greg has been with Heroes & Villains since October of 2020. Greg is an avid player of tabletop roleplaying games and an active game master. Also a fan of comics, movies, and science fiction/fantasy novels, Greg can frequently be found hunting around in used book stores and old comic shops. Greg's favorite character is Superman, hands down. Though he is a power fantasy, Superman is not about getting in fights and beating people up. At his core, Superman is a fantasy about having all the power in the world so that you can help people. Help them change a tire, get a cat out of a tree, stop a flood, negotiate a truce with an alien civilization to avoid a war, so on and so forth. One of Greg's favorite colections is the D&D Vecna collection. Though it's a smaller collection, it's a deeper cut for Dungeons & Dragons, and focuses on a villain rather than the good guys.

From the dawn of HV, Mayra's knack for crafting killer bag designs occasionally graced the brand's site. But come summer 2021, she officially joined the squad, and has expanded her knowledge of bag design to include headwear, footwear, hosiery, cold weather knits and travel gear. As an avid traveler, Mayra knows the ins and outs of schlepping gear across the globe. One of her favorite collections is the weekender travel sets.
