Adam R Garcia is a creative director, artist, designer and consultant based in Los Angeles.
His studio develops identities, narratives, systems and speculative worlds across culture, entertainment, and technology.
Previously he was a creative director at Apple Music & Podcasts (2019-2026), working on the future of listening experiences, and worked in-house at Nike (2009-2012), Instrument (2017-2019), and founded his own boutique creative studio, The Pressure (2013-2017).
