We had the good fortune of connecting with Ivan Garza and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ivan, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I have a photo that my mother sent me recently of a drawing that I did when I was 6 years old. The theme of it was, what do you want to be when you grow up? I drew me painting and wrote I want to be an artist.

It’s been my dream since I was little. In my journey of life I’ve found so many ways to create art from the culinary world to videography. I’ve always been an artist and I still hope to be one when i grow up.

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.
I have multiple outlets to express my creativity. I started in the dish pit at a restaurant and was eager to learn to cook so I moved into the salad station and my love to create flavorful art pieces was created. I worked my way through all the stations of the fine dining world and loved the beautiful chaos. The ability to create a flavorful experience in your mouth is something I’m very proud of. Now I express that through cocktails! Some of the cocktails I have created are things you will never find anywhere else! I love to incorporate food into my cocktails, being that I love cooking. I also love to film the beautiful moments in our lives and create videos that you’ll love to watch over and over again. I grew up filming my friends skateboarding and making sweet videos for YouTube! I’ve had a camera in my possession for as long as I can remember.
I really feel like I’ve embodied the free spirit way of life. I’ve lived in a lot of places and have been to so many beautiful spots in North America and I plan on that being the centerpiece of my brand. Capturing these moments that are naturally in my life that most people won’t experience. I love to take risk and take the chance when most people won’t.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d like to give my shoutout to my 7 year old son Caiden. His belief in me and love for the things I create is an irreplaceable feeling.
