Where ideas spring to life

Hi, I'm Hector, and I'm a Phoenix, Arizona, transplant. As an artist and graphic designer, there's a lot of visual inspiration to be found here in the desert Southwest. What else inspires me? Mid-century Modern architecture and design, American and Mexican pop culture, a good surf or rockabilly beat, classic car shows, science fiction, road trips, and scenic hikes.

Why Grasshopper Hill?

I grew up in Mexico City, and one of my favorite places there is Chapultepec Park, whose Nahuatl name translates into “Grasshopper Hill” in English. There’s no place like a park in the heart of a big city for people — and ideas — to spring to life.
