I'm Carlos García
I've spent over 15 years turning complex problems into digital products people enjoy using. Banking, sports, construction, innovation. I've designed platforms used across entire countries and apps that started as a sketch and ended up in four continents. I lose sleep over the details nobody sees but everybody feels. And when the screen goes off, the music goes on.

Behind the pixels
I've been designing digital products for over 15 years for companies like Santander, Telefónica, Correos, Repsol, Jr NBA, La Liga, Ferrovial and ICEX, among others. From complex enterprise platforms to consumer apps built from zero to launch.
My process is hands-on: research, prototype, test, iterate. I obsess over the details, from typographic hierarchy to the micro-interaction nobody notices but everyone feels. I don't just design screens; I design products that solve real problems.
When I'm not designing, I'm probably behind a drum kit or digging through records. Music keeps my creativity sharp and my perspective fresh.
Good design solves the problem without the user having to think about it.
Got a project in mind? Don't hesitate to write me.

App Icon Book
The iOS App Icon Book
In 2018, I was invited to contribute icon designs to what would become The iOS App Icon Book, a global collection curated by Michael Flarup featuring the best app icon work in the industry. Four years later, the book was published and my work is part of it.
Being included alongside some of the most talented icon designers in the world is one of my proudest recognitions as a designer. It's a reminder that obsessing over every pixel and detail truly pays off.
Highlights
PineApple
Design System & Template Generator
I built PineApple to solve a problem I kept running into: teams wasting hours rebuilding the same layouts over and over. It's a modular design system where every component (we call them Tools) is stackable, so you can assemble production-ready templates in minutes instead of starting from scratch each time.
Each component adapts automatically to desktop, tablet or mobile, keeping everything consistent across platforms. What used to take a full day of layout work now takes under an hour.
It scaled from a single project to a full product suite used across multiple teams.
Side Project
A Burger Club
Generative Art Collection
A personal project I built to learn. I wanted to understand generative design, creative coding and how to take a product from concept to launch on my own. The result: 5,000 unique burger illustrations created programmatically, combining hand-drawn assets with algorithmic randomization.
I designed every ingredient, wrote the logic to combine them and handled the full pipeline: illustration, code, website and launch. It taught me more about systems thinking than any client project.
