Jen Garcia
Mississippi born and raised, straight outta Jackson, the City with Soul. From there, I moved to Atlanta, where I studied Communication Design at the Atlanta College of Art, before heading to Chicago to chase my dream of working with an iconic candy company like Wrigley or Tootsie Roll. I ended up working with at least one, and after years in the CPG world (and way too many winters), I finally ditched the snow boots for cowboy boots in 2015 and made my way to Austin…where the sun shines golden, and the margaritas are always flowing.
I’ve worked on so many amazing brands throughout my career, and despite how different each project has been, they all share the same goal: making an emotional connection.
But enough about work. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me exploring hidden gems, state fairs, dive bars, and ghost towns- that’s my love language. I have a soft spot for jukeboxes, a mild obsession with the 1970s, and a lingering wish that I could have danced at Studio 54 for just one night. I also have a deep love for all creatures great and small…especially dogs.
Other than that, if I weren’t in this field, let’s just say I’d make a damn good homicide detective.
