About
Francisco J. Hernandez
Lead Product Designer
Get in touch: [email protected]
Through my wondrous years of experience, I have grown from
a classically trained designer into a new era designing for
digital experiences. I am a Texas raised New York transplant.
My knowledge expands the range of designer into entrepreneurship.
I’ve been on a journey working for multiple startups and freelance, developing my own product, and participated in an incubator. I have been able to exercise the range of my capabilities, expanded upon them and attained new ones while taking products from concept to delivery. I have had the opportunity to build responsive websites, web and native mobile applications, and software.
