Design Approach
Caleb Hernandez is the talented mind behind HernanDezigns based in Georgia. He works with clients across the globe, crafting unique visual concepts with lasting impact.
His experience spans more than 20 years and he has worked in various business sectors such as medicine, real estate, music, marketing, print, and publishing.
With my God-given talents, art and design has always been a major part of my life. Businesses that I have worked with have benefitted from my experiences and skills, making my clients marketable and profitable.
I’m sure I will do the same for you.
Design to me needs to present and convey a message that should be clear yet intriguing enough to garner a second look. The difference between bad design and good design is how well that design communicates its message. But great design shouldn’t need to be explained at all. It should clearly represent and at the same time solve problems.
I am more than a designer, I am a problem solver.
