INFO
I'm Andres Garcia, a graphic designer experienced in building unique brand identities supported by scalable design systems.
Born in Mexico (Michoacan), raised in Texas, and now based in Brooklyn New York. I'm drawing inspiration from Humankind: A hopeful history, and enjoying bike rides around NY. I'm also constantly searching for the best tacos in New York (Send me your spot).
CAPABILITIES
Branding
As a brand designer, I seek a deep understanding of business goals to define a brand identity and visual strategy. I uncover and lead the definition of design requirements via design discovery. The result defines unique brand factors, tone, positioning, audiences, and guidelines to build and scale cohesive brand identities.
Design systems
As a systems designer, I build robust design component libraries and documentation to build unified digital experiences. I continuously seek to improve collaboration and effectively implement brand usage through systematic thinking. The outcome is a single source of truth for designers and engineers to scale and iterate.
Website design
As a web designer, I translate brand messaging into accessible and responsive websites. I define design and technical requirements to deliver successful handoffs.
Product design
As a product designer, I design and deliver accessible, easy-to-use product interfaces. I define the user journey, identify existing pain points, and leverage design systems to design and develop product features, for digital applications.
