 Deborah Hernandez is originally from Chicago; as the former Vice President of Tracy Porter Inc. she helped to nurture the growth of that small entrepreneurial company from the rolling hills of rural Wisconsin. Her grateful recollection "of working with the Porter team was truly a fantasy experience and an opportunity that allowed me creative pursuits I had only previously dreamed of..." Her "city girl goes country" experience included co-authoring and styling Tracy Porter’s Dreams From Home, Tracy Porter's Inspired Gatherings, Tracy Porter's Home Style and other delightful Tracy Porter books. Her styling work has been featured in numerous national publications such as Victoria, Romantic Homes, Better Homes and Gardens, People, catalogs such as Lands' End, retailers such as Kohl's Department Stores and on the sets of QVC, Home Shopping Network and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Currently
Deborah Hernandez is a freelance Photo Stylist & Writer as well as the creator
of the Mi Casa Su Casa - Living it Up!lifestyle
blog. Her blog
and current book projects, NYC PDQ, Green & Easy and Real Life - City
Girl Goes Country for a While vividly capture her photographs and stories of time with cherished family,
friends, nature, creative pursuits, outdoor recreation and travel. Hernandez loves a good sense of humor and believes the
simplest pleasures are the best that life has to offer. Ever finding ways to work with what she has or already exists she
enjoys reinventing and re-purposing. She is the enchanted auntie to 7 inspiring children and thanks her amazing parents
(shown below) for their constant encouragement in her creative endeavors. Nicknamed Dolly by Dad as
a little girl, she first recalls her enthusiasm for clothing being apparent when she was gently scolded for changing into
four different outfits during a childhood birthday party. That very enthusiasm for clothing later led
to the study of fashion design at IADT in Chicago. She recently joined the team at the ever innovative
retailer, Anthropologie. And when that isn't enough to keep her busy the additional hobbies
and creative pursuits she takes very lightly of Repurposing Clothing , Thrift Shopping & Photography
easily fill the creative void.
