I’m Ricardo Garcia, a versatile web designer, UI developer and soccer enthusiast based in Dallas, TX.
My 5+ years of experience in web design has given me an eye for detail, a mind for creativity and a technical aptitude for UI development.
Self-motivation and passion are what feeds my eager to learn front-end technologies. I strive to build responsive websites and intuitive digital experiences with semantic HTML5 markup, CSS3, JQuery, and JavaScript.
Off the computer, I enjoy playing soccer and skateboarding.
This website was originally designed for Studio 55, a functional training studio based in Miami, FL. Unfortunately, the client decided to put the project on hold and it was never developed. Since I already had most of the site designed I decided to go ahead and program it myself to test new technologies I was learning such as gmaps.js for the implementation of Google Maps and animate.css with waypoints.js to create animations on scrolling.
While working at Ikone International I was responsible for designing and developing 3 registration landing pages for one of their main clients. Before moving into the development stage I created multiple concepts to test the best solution. When the client approved the final design, I delivered a responsive layout with scrolling animations and implemented Hubspot, a marketing and sales platform that help companies to convert leads.
Ander PR is a boutique, full-service public relations firm located in Miami, FL. They have led public relations campaigns for prominent brands and businesses, specializing in real estate and hospitality. While working at Ikone International I was in charge of designing the new look of their corporate website. After the project was officially delivered I wanted to continue experimenting with new technologies and techniques that I was learning at that time such as Sass and SVG animations, so I decided to redesign and develop an alternative version of the website to strength my front end developer skills.
