(MY NAME IS ACTUALLY VANESSA HERNANDEZ
BUT THAT DOMAIN WAS TAKEN, SO HERE WE ARE)

Since 2009, I’ve worked with brands and partners to create engaging and effective visual communication. With over ten years of experience as a graphic designer, art director, and design educator, I’m fascinated by design theory and practices and how they inform our world.

I’ve worked as a contractor and in-house designer across several industries, most recently having been the sole in-house designer for a growing luxury fashion brand. I thrive working with stakeholders to put creativity to metrics, implementing creative strategy and systems, and using design theory for integrative and off-the-cuff creative solutions.

When I’m not deep in the Adobe suite, I enjoy doing / teaching pottery, cooking impossibly complicated meals in my tiny kitchen, and trying to recruit musicians for a high school marching band revival (let me know if you ever need a rusty flute player.)

Recently relocated to Oakland from Los Angeles, I’m currently seeking remote and Bay-area opportunities with great team environments.
