Read full biographyIvan Garcia, AKA Futura, is the founder and director of his namesake creative design studio, Futura. Raised in a Jehovah’s Witness family, he was later kicked out from his community and found his first break into the design world in the antithesis of his household: as a web designer for the porn industry. With no theoretical education about the rules of design, but driven by his curious character and a need to create something fresh, he founded his own studio at the age of 25.
For 16 years, Ivan has led more than 300 projects worldwide, operating from three pop-up offices in Tokyo and Kuwait, as well as from a global platform powered by a remote-work paradigm, even before the pandemic. Now based in Buenos Aires, Argentina - which feels like home - Futura continues to grow from strong connectivity and commitment to never compromise on the quality of top-notch design. Born in Mexico but based worldwide, Futura is the reflection of Ivan’s global dialogue through graphic design, where innovation, experimentation, and a refusal to take himself too seriously define his whole semantic universe.
