Clear Graphics and Printing: Passion, Perseverance, and the Power of Community

Jesse Hernandez, owner of Clear Graphics and Printing, launched his business with one simple but powerful mission: to help people. What began as a passion project has grown into a full-fledged business that blends creativity, adaptability, and a deep commitment to service. Like many small business owners, Jesse’s journey has been marked by constant learning—especially as the printing and marketing industries continue to evolve.

Adapting in a Changing Industry

Navigating the rapid shifts in technology and customer engagement strategies has posed its fair share of challenges. “The journey has been a learning experience,” Jesse reflects. “I’m constantly adapting to changes in the printing industry and the ways businesses market themselves to their customers.”

One of the biggest hurdles? Keeping up with the ever-growing landscape of digital tools and apps designed to help entrepreneurs run their businesses more efficiently. That’s where the Sacramento Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce (SacAsian Chamber) stepped in.

Unlocking Resources & Opportunities

Through the Chamber, Jesse discovered certification programs specifically designed to empower small and minority-owned businesses—an opportunity he might not have otherwise known about. “The Chamber really helped me understand and access these resources,” he shares.

Chamber events like the quarterly Sip N’ Socialize mixers and business education webinars have also played a significant role in expanding his network and sharpening his skills. “I’ve met new clients through the Chamber and those networking events,” Jesse says. “They’ve been a real game changer.”

A Community that Builds Confidence

Since partnering with the Chamber, Jesse has seen not only business growth but personal growth. “The programs and resources have helped me gain more confidence as a business owner,” he explains. “They’ve contributed to the stability and year-over-year growth of my company.” Perhaps most importantly, Jesse feels supported. “The Chamber staff have been very helpful,” he says. “They take the time to meet with you one-on-one and truly want to see you succeed.”

Advice for Fellow Entrepreneurs

Jesse’s message to other business owners is clear: “Don’t hesitate to join! The programs, resources, networking opportunities, and individual support from the Chamber are incredibly helpful at any stage of your business growth.”

As Clear Graphics and Printing continues to grow, Jesse remains deeply grateful for the role the Chamber has played in his journey—and looks forward to what’s next. Interested in working with Jesse and Clear Graphics and Printing?
