ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF
I’M CARLOS J. HERNANDEZ.
JUST CALL ME CJ.
I’m nestled in the creative hub of Austin, TX, where I craft brand identities, digital designs, and UI/UX experiences. With a splash of creativity and over 17 years of professional design under my belt, I’ve tackled everything from sprucing up small businesses to bolstering unicorn startups and leading marketing-driven design efforts.
I thrive on collaboration—there’s nothing better than partnering directly with clients to supercharge their brand and user experience through strategic design solutions. As a Product Designer and Art Director, I thrive on quickly identifying and solving design challenges, always eager to explore new directions to improve user engagement. My strong ability to think from the user's perspective helps me deeply understand their needs, allowing me to craft functional and impactful experiences. Known for my honesty and straightforwardness, I confidently lead projects, guiding teams toward innovative solutions with a clear and approachable style.
Outside of my professional life, I maintain an active lifestyle through boxing and kickboxing, disciplines I’ve pursued for over a decade to foster mental and physical discipline while decompressing from my day-to-day challenges. Additionally, I have a keen interest in film and enjoy discussing the latest cinematic trends and classic movies alike.
