OSCAR GARCIA
Background
Visuals
I grew up on the Gulf Coast of Florida and recently graduated with a Master of Architecture from Tulane University in New Orleans, LA. My work is heavily influenced by lifestyle, culture, and sociology.
My focus in design is largely aesthetic. I have a meticulous eye for graphics, layout, and visualization. My goal for every project is to deliver stunning visuals and remarkable displays. I am well-versed in digital media as well as 2D and 3D representation.
Process
Presentation
As a highly conceptual thinker, I’m capable of successfully carrying out an idea from its original inception to final execution. Thorough research and careful analysis are vital parts of the design process, and I look forward to drawing inspiration for new schemes based on my findings.
With exceptional written and oral skills, I make full use of my ability to communicate precisely and effectively both on paper and in person. A lot of thought and care go into the final product, and I always make an effort to take great pride in everything I do.
