Teddy, Day 1’s daily inspiration and local elementary school influencer, has many responsibilities at the company including but not limited to, insisting on basketball and football breaks, sharing professional sports stats which may or may not be helpful for projects, and constantly asking the very important question, “What does Day 1 Graphics do?” When off the clock, he’s a regular at nearby playgrounds, water sliding in the summer, or chasing down the ice cream truck year-round.

Fernando, founder of Day 1 Graphics, has created projects spanning millions of square feet that have been seen throughout the country and especially NYC for almost two decades. His trade and field expertise are sought out by some of the most important firms in the world representing real estate, hospitality, luxury goods and event production. When not Day 1’ing, he’s on that “break” with Teddy, enjoying old school hip hop, and looking for the next best Puerto Rican cuisine on the island and off.
