Imagine traveling from newsrooms around the world as a graphic designer for 15 years. What lessons would you learn? What skills would you think would be the most important? What would make you a better infographic designer?
Do you have to always do what is trendy?
Marco Hernandez did just that, with his family along for the ride. He worked in newsrooms in Costa Rica, Hong Kong and Singapore for more than 15 years as a graphic designer. And now he is sharing his five most important lessons from his time traveling the world.
Recently named World’s Best Digital Designer in 2022 at the SND Creative Competition, Marco will be presenting at SND’s Designing Success 1-day workshop on Oct 22, 2022 in Washington, DC.

5 sticky notes from an Infographic Designer
