JULIO GARCIA
Co-founder of Madbear Creative Agency & CTO at Business Makers Network. I build fast, conversion-focused websites and digital strategies — across 30+ countries.
"I build digital experiences that work as hard as the people behind them."
I'm Julio Garcia — a web designer and digital strategist originally from Managua, Nicaragua, now based in Moscow, Idaho. With over 10 years of experience, I've helped organizations and entrepreneurs across more than 30 countries build their digital presence, grow their audiences, and turn strategy into results.

I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, and I bring a rare blend of creative vision, technical depth, and operational leadership — shaped by years of working across cultures, time zones, and contexts.

EDUCATION
& LEARNING
Engineering foundations, formal project management,
and a decade of self-directed practice.
MICROMASTERS —
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Rochester Institute of Technology
A graduate-level program covering project scope, scheduling, budgeting, risk, and stakeholder management — the framework I use today to run multi-country client projects and technology roadmaps on time and on budget.
ENGINEER'S DEGREE —
ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONICS
Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua (UNAN-Managua)
Five years of engineering training in systems, electronics, and communications. It's where I learned to break complex problems into parts, test assumptions, and build things that hold up under real conditions — the way I still approach every website and platform.
Everything I do professionally in web design, SEO, and marketing I taught myself — through documentation, certifications, industry courses, and more than a decade of building real projects for real clients. Over 50 clients across 30+ countries have been the classroom, and shipped results have been the exam.
WEB DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
10+ Years · Ongoing
From my first WordPress theme to custom-built ecommerce platforms. I learned by building, breaking, and rebuilding — studying UI/UX principles, performance optimization, and front-end code until design and engineering became one workflow.
- WordPress, Elementor & custom theme development
- WooCommerce & Shopify storefronts
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript & responsive systems
- UI/UX, accessibility & Core Web Vitals
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
8+ Years · Ongoing
SEO is a discipline that rewrites itself every year, so I've never stopped studying it. I learned technical SEO from audits, content strategy from data, and authority building from campaigns I ran and measured myself.
- Technical SEO audits & site architecture
- Keyword research & search intent mapping
- On-page, local & international SEO
- Google Analytics, Search Console & Ahrefs
DIGITAL MARKETING
10+ Years · Ongoing
A beautiful site that doesn't convert is a hobby. I studied positioning, funnels, copywriting, and paid media so that every project I deliver connects design decisions to business outcomes.
- Brand positioning & messaging strategy
- Conversion funnels & landing page optimization
- Email marketing & automation
- Google Ads, Meta Ads & campaign analytics
I've spent my career at the intersection of technical problem-solving and human understanding. Whether I'm teaching someone how to confidently navigate their inbox or recovering a crashed system for a small business — the goal is the same: less friction, more confidence, real results.
EVERYDAY TECH MADE SIMPLE
I've taught people from all walks of life how to use email, manage online accounts, navigate digital tools, and communicate more effectively through technology. The goal isn't to overwhelm — it's to build real confidence that sticks.
FULL-SCALE COMPUTER SUPPORT
From sluggish hardware to complete system failures — I diagnose it, fix it, and explain what happened so it doesn't happen again. Software setup, OS optimization, driver conflicts, virus removal, and full device recovery are all in a day's work.
BETTER TOOLS, BETTER HABITS
Technology only works when people actually use it well. I help individuals and teams build smarter workflows — identifying the right software, setting it up properly, and training people to use it in ways that save time every single day.
TECH THAT WORKS FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Small businesses don't need enterprise IT departments — they need someone who can set everything up right and show the team how to run it. I've done this for businesses across three continents: clean systems, trained staff, zero dependency.
FIX AND TEACH
Solving the problem is step one. Step two is making sure you understand what happened and what to do if it comes back — because real support reduces dependency, not increases it.
NO JARGON
Technology has a language problem. I translate it. Whether you're a first-time computer user or a seasoned business owner, I meet you where you are and explain things in terms that actually land.
PEOPLE FIRST
The best technical solution is the one people will actually use. Every recommendation I make starts with who's using it, how they work, and what's going to stick — not just what's technically optimal.
