Meet Rodrigo Caceres Garzon | Graphic Designer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Rodrigo Caceres Garzon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rodrigo, why did you pursue a creative career?
I pursued an artistic or creative career because I am deeply passionate about the power of storytelling and the ability to create unforgettable experiences for people. Whether it’s working on a movie, TV show, music production, or a live concert, I find joy in being a part of a team that brings these experiences to life.

Creating art is about crafting moments that resonate with people on a profound level. It’s about stirring emotions, provoking thought, and igniting imagination. When I’m involved in these projects, I feel like a co-author in the story of people’s lives, helping to shape their memories and experiences.

The magic of the creative process and producing content is that you are giving people something special, something that they can connect with on a personal level. It’s about making people laugh, cry, dance, or simply escape from their everyday lives, even if it’s just for a brief moment. These moments can become treasured memories that they share with others who share the same taste and energy, forging connections and building communities.

Artistic and creative endeavors allow us to transcend the ordinary and dive into a world of emotions and fantasies. It’s a way to provide solace, inspiration, and hope. Through art and creativity, we can make people’s lives a little bit brighter, a little bit more colorful, and a little bit happier.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
It is not easy to live and be in a country that is not yours and start something from scratch. Many times it is frustrating and you feel overwhelmed by everything, feeling stuck, especially because it is very easy to compare yourself, see, and think that others are doing better than you and that you are in a cycle that many times seems infinite and you cannot know what. direction to take. But what I have achieved for now, especially since I am living in Los Angeles, I do feel satisfied because it is something that I would never have been able to do in my country and it is something that will always differentiate me. I understand that opportunities present themselves and you have to be patient and prepared to face them, but always have a positive attitude and have the best will to do them, so it will seem like a very big and overwhelming challenge, and that is why I feel that many people do not try it because There are many things that happen at the same time and it is difficult to control everything, which is why many give up along the way. Furthermore, you should never underestimate or create prejudices about anyone, because you do not know what history others have behind them, that is why you should always be open to meeting people and listening to them, because many times those people and life perspectives can make the difference. difference can change your perspectives, your decisions, and how your professional career is shaped.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I think I owe the most important influence to Dean Rose, he was the one who introduced me to “Hollywood” and gave me the opportunity to collaborate on designs for Latin artists with great international presence such as Daddy Yankee, Anuel AA, and Chris Jedi. This is where my curiosity and interest in going beyond just design was born to continue growing and adopting more knowledge about production and direction, starting to tell my own stories and visual ideas, and trying to create the visual and experimental side of music.
