**★★★★★ — MSI Urban Realty, July 2013**

> Matt Garcia Design is my go-to for modern design work.  Matt Garcia listens to his clients and creates wonderful spaces that are not only beautiful but are really comfortable as well. I would have to say his work is livable art and you cannot go wrong with him.  His team is extremely talented and they put in the time to get your project from concept to ground. I highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Marielle Lamy Quaid, Austin REALTOR®, March 2013**

> I am in the business of helping clients with very particular tastes find the perfect home, but when their vision turns towards designing their dream home, or remodeling to achieve the perfect aesthetic, I ALWAYS recommend Matt and ALWAYS come to find that my clients are extremely happy with their experience.
>
> Matt is always sensitive to designing for the space.  He does not come in with his own preconceived ideas and listens to his clients.  He has an amazing way of elevating his clients styles to create beautiful, clean, peaceful spaces that showcase the natural beauty of Austin.  Every time I see one of his projects, it makes me want to build my own home.
>
> I cannot say enough good things about this up and coming architect!

**★★★★★ — jodiz, June 2012**

> We hired Matt Garcia when he was an associate with Dick Clark Architecture to design our dream house--very modernist but also very comfortable.  He listened carefully, he asked questions, he read our program several times during the design phase and he produced what many people in Austin think is a masterpiece.  His maturity, attention to detail, and sense of humor all made the entire process a dream--so much so that we hired him again to design our country house, and now once again to design a new house in Austin.   We feel so fortunate to have connected with him early in his career (he was just 28 when he designed our house!).    His talent combined with his charisma are going to take him to the pinnacle of his profession.
