JC Hernandez

Senior Art Director

 

“La vida es un búsqueda y todos son caminos.”

JC Hernandez, our Senior Art Director and the ingenious force behind captivating visuals. Picture him as the Matisse of pixels, blending serene patience with an unrivaled eye for aesthetics. With a life motto like "La vida es una búsqueda y todos son caminos," JC's work practically shouts, “¡Ay wey!” (but in a good way.)

Beyond design work, JC's passion takes center stage. Whether relishing Taco Santo's delights, wandering the vibrant tapestry of Mexico City, Playa del Carmen's tranquility, or Disneyland's enchantment, he’s everywhere. He's a garden virtuoso, a gaming aficionado, and an unwavering fan of FC Bravos. Who knew pixels, plants, and soccer could share such a canvas of enthusiasm?

He absorbs creativity like it’s a full-time gig, from Son Rompe Pera's soulful rhythms and savoring Led Zeppelin's timeless echoes. His playlist is an eclectic rollercoaster, much like his designs. And let's talk movies – Spirited Away, Roma, and Amelie are his cinematic champions. Oh, and you can't forget the otherworldly humor of Rick and Morty or the brain-bending depths of Octavio Paz's "El laberinto de la soledad" – they're his secret creative fuel.

In his youth, JC's dreams drifted toward becoming a Marine Biologist, riding the tide of ocean mysteries. Though his path shifted, his creative waves continue to make a splash. We're fortunate to have him on our side. Oh, and a friendly tip: don't ever badmouth Xcaret unless you're ready for a passionate debate.

Pachanga Con La Flaca

For many cultures around the world, death represents the terminal stage of life and it evokes fear. For Mexicans and some parts of Latin America, death is a transitional phenomenon that is viewed with a playful and positive attitude. Therefore, Día de Muertos is a joyful celebration and remembrance for those who are gone but live through us.

How well do you know your Mexican historical figures?

Every once in a while (and generally more often than that), an advertisement or a sign in a store will incorrectly pair historical Mexican figures with historical Mexican events. Whether it’s 5 de mayo, 20 de noviembre or even today’s 16 de septiembre, there always seems to be some kind of mix-up.
