Ariel Garcia

A SELF-TAUGHT DESIGNER WITH A MULTI 6-FIGURE AGENCY + A MISSION TO HELP GRAPHIC DESIGNERS BUILD THE BUSINESS + LIFE OF THEIR DREAMS.

Not that long ago, I was an admin assistant at an accounting firm. Creative industry, right? Feeling completely unfulfilled, I taught myself graphic design and spent YEARS struggling to book clients.

Finally, everything changed when I stopped trying to mimic other “successful” designers. I honed in on my creative artistry, built a solid business, and figured out smarter marketing.

Before I knew it, my dream clients were seeking me out. My product sales went through the roof. I grew a team I’m obsessed with, traveled the world, bought a house, and fell in love with my life.

Now, I’m passionate about helping YOU do the same. I created Drop Dead Designer so you can skip the hard sh&t and create the life you want. Not in a few years but right now.
