1 - Introduce yourself:
Wow… it´s really hard to describe myself! Haha! Well… my name is Sergio Garrido, I´m an Art Director and 3D artist from Madrid, Spain. I have worked with some important brands such as Vodafone TV, TOUS, Amstel, Ecoembes… among others.
I’m in love with everything that surrounds 3D world (also 3D printing!). From motion graphics in advertising to the most hyper-realistic scenes in movies.
For this reason, whenever I see something new that I don’t know how it is done, I feel the need to learn it in order to apply it in my projects and try to improve myself.

2 - Which artists inspire you and why?
Since I started in the world of 3D, many artists have inspired me to experiment with new techniques and styles.
Every day I discover new artists and that's why I'd like to name others that we don't know as much about, like for example Mathieu L.B , his mix of illustration and 3D, and his mastery of color palettes fascinates me.
The geometric illustrations of Maite Franchi. The modelling technique of Nikita Veprikov. Also studios like Buck or The Mill.

3 - What’s the most important thing to know about you? (3 most important things, not necessarily related to work)
Perfectionist. I like to do everything I set out to do well, so I'm usually pretty picky about myself. If something doesn't work out for me I don't stop until I'm proud of it.
Food lover. Whenever I need a break from work, I like to go out to restaurants and try new kinds of food. And if I can't go out, it's always a good option to spend time cooking at home.
I'm a joker. Even if the mirror says otherwise, I still feel like a child! Haha. I'm always laughing and making others laugh, fooling around and playing all kinds of jokes.

4 - What qualities and skills should a designer have?
I think that a designer, beyond the technical qualities we know, must be very curious and do new things whenever he can.
He must be in constant movement within the art world, meeting new artists from any discipline and trying out other branches of art.
In this way we get him to change our way of thinking and our perspective of the things around us, allowing us to create new things.

5 - What are you most proud of?
What I am most proud of is my insatiable thirst to learn and try new things in both my professional and private life. This allows me to meet new people from all over the world and also to share knowledge and experiences in life.

6 - What advice would you give for a young designer?
I would tell him to be patient and persistent in his work. Sometimes, especially at the beginning, it seems that our work goes unnoticed and people don't like it.
This can be very demotivating and makes us think about doing other things. But with time and hard work, in to the end the results come and the objectives are met.
