Andres C Hernandez

Designer

San Francisco, CA, USA
I’m that American-born, Colombian-bred wannabe soccer player-turned-designer due to love for the craft and bad knees. By day, I design UI and visualize data. By night, I create logos, brand identities, album cover art and more. In between, I fuel my curiosity by learning French, Portuguese, CSS and HTML, and by traveling to exotic places to eat exotic things. Icons, illustrations and infographics? No problem. Front- end? Of course. Alpaca carpaccio? Delicious. Spanish? Lo domino perfectamente. I’ve even been known to paint a little.

I’m currently seeking an opportunity to join a team that shares my wonder for the world and belief that design can make it a happier, healthier and just plain better looking place.

Hill Holliday

Designer

Concept, design and build everything from consumer journeys and data visualizations to apps, events, posters and social media assets for clients like Dunkin’ Donuts, Liberty Mutual, Great Wolf Lodge, TJX Companies, Bank of America and Cigna. Examples include:

Infographic storytelling: Design posters, booklets and presentations that bring research findings to life in a telegraphic and compelling way to drive client decisions. For Capella University, a collection of students’ personal narratives accompanied by emotional mapping; For Liberty Mutual, visualizations of the risks associated with sponsoring the 2014 Winter Olympics and FIFA World Cup. For TJX, a visual journey of how people use their mobile phones before, during and after they shop at Marshall’s, TJMaxx and HomeGoods.

Bfresh Launch Experience: Helped identify “Allston Christmas” — the Boston area’s unofficial college move-in/furniture abandonment day — as the ideal occasion for launching Stop & Shop’s new, small format grocery concept. Developed activations to engage weary movers, including branded dumpsters, elf-driven pedicabs, carolers and hipster Santas.

Design Museum Mornings Event: Created all visual assets promoting a sold-out networking breakfast and exhibition to engage Boston’s creative community on ways to apply information design each day. The show also featured my own work modeling how people think and behave when choosing vacations for Great Wolf Lodge.

BodiMojo App: Developed the brand identity and UI elements for a resource to help young people express and manage their emotions as they navigate teenhood. Collaborated with UX designers to develop wireframes, style guides, and clickable prototype deliverable.
