Anjuli Garcia
Q What do you do?
“Well hello there , I’m Anjuli Garcia 🤟🏾”
I'm a creative slashie behind Studio Junk - a WOC-led design studio known for expressive design that redefines what meaningful impact looks like.
Q What steps did you take to get to where you are now?
After quitting my job and the impacts from 2020, I was ready to step out on my own to create change. My love for giving back and design gave life to Studio Junk.
My vision has always been the same through out our awesome evolution. With a people-centered approach and a commitment to giving back, our goal is not just to make brands feel human, but to make them genuinely embody the essence of what they stand for in every touchpoint.
I absolutely enjoy seeing our collaborations bring positive momentum in the world. Hopefully, that can be us soon!
Q How do you stand out in your field?
We believe in the power of creativity to drive positive change. We enjoy collaborating with cool brands committed to social change for our global community and the planet. In short, we care!
Together, we can add your own spin on professionalism and build a culture shifting brand that values creativity, collaboration, new ideas and meaningful impact.
With a commitment to empowering diverse voices, our goal is not just to make brands feel human, but to make them genuinely embody the essence of what they stand for in every touchpoint.
Sounds cool, right ?
Q What are you working on right now?

Q What’s your style?
Authentic, expressive and kinetic.
Q Out of all your slashies, which one do you wish you could do more often?
Learning code is always a bell curve. I love the things it can do once you got it done but it's quite tough when learning it. Javascript has always been mean to me haha but I plan to make it my bestie in the near future.
Q What is frustrating you right now?
Unfortunately when client work comes flooding in, my website moves to bottom 😭 . However, the goal is to have it out before the end of '23. Wish me luck!
Q If you could hire someone for $20/hour, what would you have them do to make your day easier?
Bookkeeping or content creation!
Q What do you wish you could have told yourself, when, and why?
When you show up authentically as yourself, the right people and opportunities will show up for you.
Q If you could talk to an expert to gain more insight on something, what would it be about?
Content creation!
Q What kind of opportunities/projects are you looking for?
We are looking for cool brands who are human, value centered and want to genuinely uplift people with their service or product. Some of our dream clients would be a food pantry, inclusive sex ed brand, weed reform organization, climate action music festival, underserved farmers or a sustainable clothing brand.
Q Describe your ideal job/client/collaboration.
So many great experiences. I honestly have to say it was a great collaboration with the ilovecreatives Studio for the Gist brand. If you haven't heard of them, you are missing out. In short, the Gist are reinventing the dialogue around sports by providing equal coverage to women's and men's sports aka leveling the playing field.
This was totally right up our alley. I was tasked with designing merch, a sales deck and some email designs. With Mindy and Sarah's design expertise and collaborative spirit, I loved working on the project. I was so proud of the contribution I made to that project and was able to work on other projects with the Studio.
