Gabriel Garcia

Designer based in New York. I lead design at Himedi, a startup that books medical checkups in Korea.

I work across product, brand and print. I take my own designs to production by directing AI coding tools, rather than handing a file to an engineer. I studied design at the University of Pennsylvania.

The quiz, headed “Take control of your health.” and marked “CHECKUPS IN KOREA · 2 MINUTES”: seven questions that lead to a recommendation, with a note promising it only recommends what the answers point to — including saying so when the honest answer is the $299 baseline and nothing more — and a disclaimer that it is a screening tool, not medical advice, above a Start button.
